What Causes Poor Memory And Hallucinations?

Hello I have question for my mother. She has been showing some unusual actuvities. She forgets things she keeps like money, food on stove,etc. She asumes someone is always following her or her real close friend is stalking her to know her life details. She all the time thinks that someone is making radiation waves and creating unpleaseable environment in my family. Despite of making her realise its not happening she is always in the illusion of electricity is being stolen. She never completes things she starts.. she always used to keep things clean and tidy but now its always dirty. She all days keep on sleeping or have a preoccupied mind. I am really concerned about her health. Please someone help me. Her father was a pt. of dementia. She is a diabetic. She is 63yrs old. Please help me!

Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that paranoid symptoms, like believing that someone is out to get you, or is taking your stuff or someone is in the house, can be due to mental disorder termed as Psychosis. Memory loss with confusion, apathy, changes in mood etc can be early symptoms of dementia. Most case of dementia are not inherited but should be evaluate for proper management.

Kingly consult with a Psychiatrist for further management.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
