Claiming someone, controlling my mother.

Dear, The information you have shared points to the possibility of your mother exhibiting symptoms of psychosis. She believes that someone else is controlling her and even upon explaining, she is not agreeing. This shows that she is not in touch with reality and might be in state of psychosis. Please be informed that in majority of the cases of psychosis, it is extremely difficult to make the patients eat medicines. Hence, over a period of time and as illness escalates, they become aggressive and uncontrollable.. It is strongly recommended that consult a psychiatrist immediately and forcefully administer medicines if the doctor makes a formal diagnosis. Just for your knowledge: in case the patient is not taking medicines and grows aggressive, there are options to get them admitted forcefully (with consent of family) in clinical setup so that medicines can be administered. Psychotherapy along with medicines will ensure that your mother's cognitive distortions are addressed to appropriately.
