Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
From your description, it appears to me that your mother suffers from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).

I think you should consult a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Drugs like sertraline and fluoxetine and psychological treatments like behavior therapy are very useful in such cases.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. But from the given information it is very difficult to diagnose your mother's problem. I will need more information. She could be depressed or having delusional disorders or OCD or degenerative symptoms. The best option is to consult a psychiatrist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
