Why My Grand Mother Getting Very Forgetful And Refusing To Go To Doctor?

hi, my nan is very controlling and attention seeking lately, she seems to think nobody does anything for her and nobody visits her although people go in there on a daily basis, she gets angry and throws people out for no reason. she's also getting very forgetful and she's refusing to go to the doctors.

It's possible she is developing Alzheimer's disease or some other dementia. She might also have had a stroke or has some kind of brain infection. Damage to the brain from these and other things can lead to behavioral changes and memory less. Sometimes the person is somewhat aware of these problems, but is in denial and refuses to see the doctor. Do what you can to get her to the doctor. It could be something treatable. Hope this answers your query.
