Hi,
Your mother is suffering from dementia .Dementia is the term used where a person has decline in cognitive function( eg memory) that impairs with activity of daily living.Most common causes of dementia are Alzheimer and vascular dementia next comes mixed dementia.You need to consult neurologist for detail neurological assesment and higher function test ,to categorize her to which class of dementia she belongs.She requires certain blood test to rule out reversible dementia.She requires MRI brain and EEG also.

Hi Chitra.... More than medicine, what your mom needs is good support from you and the family. Dementia is a progressive disorder. Unfortunately there is no definitive treatment for it except multivitamins and others. Make her feel that you care for her. You can take usefull tips from physiatrist and other rehabilitation professionals initially. When you learn to be positive with her over a period of time you will learn how to deal with her and her problems. Hope for the best....
