My mom started behaving like a child in 2019 March, I clearly can't describe her. But she acts like a child and she acts scared too, when we ask her the reason she won't tell anything, we thought she was in depression. She works totally fine, cooking cleaning, even when we do all the stuff she'll just sit and do absolutely nothing, won't even use her phone. Now she has started behaving more weirdly, she donates almost everything from our house to others, food, clothes, jewelry etc. When travelling she bows in front of everyone and says namestey from car. She even threw her slippers to the man who was walking bare foot. And the part where I get confused is, when in anger she behaves normally, she fought with me and my brother sometimes when we asked her to stop giving stuff to random people and stop inviting everyone walking outside to our house and ask them water coz it's corona time. She behaves like she is totally fine when she is angry. Please help me understand what's happening.

Hi, you mentioned that your mother has been behaving differently since March 2019. It looks like she could be stressed about something. You are worried about your mother donating everything from home to other people. You are also worried about your mother wanting to get friendly with strangers and inviting them home. In order to help your mother you can consult a psychiatrist and explain about her condition. Your mother can consult a psychologist as well who can help her manage stress and anxiety. Your mother can consult a psychiatrist first and then a psychologist.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist and psychologist.

Hi... Please consult a Psychiatrist, she needs a proper Psychiatric assessment.
If she isn't willing to go to a Psychiatrist, you can alone visit and share her symptoms in detail. The Psychiatrist may prescribe some medication and may guide you on how to administer it, if she is unwilling.
Please do not hesitate to consult a Psychiatrist, as this may be due to ageing or some other underlying Psychiatric or Psychological Condition.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist immediately and a Psychologist for Counselling later.
