Joe Biden's false tales are increasing: Is it a sign of a memory disorder? - Washington Times  "President Biden has a long history of telling stories that are embellished, if not outright fabricated, but his falsehoods are increasing rapidly.

"Mental health experts say the false memories might be signs of confabulation, a neurological disorder linked to dementia.

"“Confabulation is most closely associated with dementia-related memory loss,” said Dr. Tanveer Ahmed, a psychiatrist. “You are trying to tell a story, but your brain can’t fill the space, so your brain protects you by making stuff up.” . . .

. . ."“The stories he’s been telling — he doesn’t realize that they’ve been debunked or otherwise he wouldn’t tell them. That is confabulation,” she said. “He’s missing the part of his brain that tells him he shouldn’t say those things because he’s convinced himself those stories are true.”

"Confabulation is the creation of false memories in the brain that lead to untrue stories. Those afflicted are not trying to deceive people but rather sincerely believe their stories are accurate.

"Confabulations can border on the fantastical and bizarre but are usually just distortions of actual events. It is sometimes called “honest lying” because those afflicted gain no benefit from telling false tales.
