[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're not sure, you might not want to make assumptions about it--could she have a brain tumor? Alzheimer's or another type of dementia? depression? carbon monoxide in her house?  Might be better to express concern and encourage (force) her to see a doctor.[/quote]

NP, while it is good for OP to make sure she's considered all sorts of root causes, I'm gonna guess OP didn't wake up this morning and jump to the conclusion that her mom needs and intervention without a LOT of prior history that leads to this.  OP says already she's planning to contact her mom's doc, so if this is somehow an unwarranted leap, she'll likely get that advice.  But the vast majority of the time that family members start talking "intervention", it's long long after the problems have gotten way out of control.  I highly doubt OP "expressing concern and encouraging/forcing her mom to see a doctor" will work at this stage.  OP and her mom are probably long past that point being helpful.[/quote]

Op here.  Pp your post explains it perfectly.  Thank you[/quote]
