Hello, The symptoms described by you here are very strongly suggestive of Dementia. Dementia is a clinical condition which is characterized by forgetfulness, inability to carry out tasks, and loss of other brain and mind functioning. Hence my suggestion for you is to please seek a consultation with a neurologist or a Psychiatrist near you. A detailed evaluation is definitely required as cause of Dementia will be evaluated and then appropriate treatment can be given to her. Please do not delay in seeking help as in an untreated state dementia can worsen rapidly. Hope this helps you. Best wishes for your health and future.
