Hallucinations
My mother in law , 85 years of age has been hallucinating lately. She sees objects and people who aren't there. Has a disturbed sleep and keeps staying awake for long periods of time staring blankly. She has become paranoid, and it's become difficult for us to make her understand.
Her appetite is good though.
She was diabetic earlier but the same is under control now. Pulse rate stays a bit low.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out with the problem and diagnose the same.
Thanks and regards.
