Confabulation treatment
Treatment usually focuses on addressing the underlying disorder to help reduce confabulation. There are also psychotherapy techniques that may help to correct the symptom. An example is cognitive rehabilitation, in which you “relearn” cognitive skills.
Does confabulation ever go away?
Confabulation can be addressed with psychotherapy and/or cognitive rehabilitation that involve helping people become more aware of their inaccuracies. Sometimes it will resolve on its own with time.
What triggers confabulation?
Confabulation is caused by brain damage or poor brain function, but researchers are unsure which parts of the brain are at fault. The frontal lobe or the basal forebrain may be involved. Confabulation occurs with several brain disorders. These are some of the most common.
