Answer 1

Answer:

pseudodementia

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by medical professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Lily may be suffering from pseudodementia. This disease condition whose presenting symptoms appear as dementia, but may result from a misdiagnosis of depression or the adverse effects of medications being taken. Since Lily begins showing signs of lose of interest and sluggish movement before actually losing memory, then this can be the cause.
