It would be psuedo, not suta, but yes, I've heard of it. It was on Tuesday night's episode of Law and Order: SVU. Anything in particular you want to know about it, or are you just wondering how well known it is?

It is not "suta" it is "pseudo" dementia, which means false dementia. It is a condition where there appears to be dementia, but it is actually depression.
