Hysterical behaviour

2017-10-27 05:29:39
My granny has been showing hysterical behaviour since a few months. She keeps on repeating certain things on several occasions. She doesn't sleep and screams all day and night about somebody dying. She doesn't eat and do her daily chores. She talks absurd things. She is about 75 years of age.
