Suggest Treatment For Disorganized Condition

My mother has always been disorganized but it has progressively gotten worse over the last 15 years. Her house is so full of junk that she cannot even live in it. I have helped her clean it several times and it lasts a few days. I have tried to talk to her about it but she just refused to see the problem and blames everyone and everything else. What should I do?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I understand your concern.

Disorganized behavior and disorganized speech is features of psychotic illness and illness like dementia.

In both thought processes are disturbed and need to proper evaluation to treat it.

If your mothers age is advance then she might have forgetfulness along with disorganized behavior that suggest possibility toward dementia.

So my advise to consult psychiatrist to evaluate further.

There are good medicines which can be helpful to treat this kind of illness but without proper diagnosis we can not able to explain you.

Need further history to reach on conclusion.

I hope i have answered your query.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
