Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It sounds like your mother has some form of Dementia. She needs to be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible to see if there is any cause that may be reversed.

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