Hi,

She has got more mental problem. She requires psychoanalysis. Drugs are required to be changed and consult clinical psychologist for study of the case. Further consultation with specialists.

In my opinion she is in need of psychiatric consultation. Present drug to be withdrawn. At her age many people having this problems. It is totally old age problem. Still consult specialist. She may recover.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
