Hey, the symptoms you are saying look like psychiatric symptoms. You Should consult the psychiatrist online or offline. As a psychiatrist who has been dealing and managing all these conditions for a very long time, I can understand how much you must be concerned about your sister, so that she gets the best care and treatment.

Go for a psychiatrist. None are neurological symptoms or complaints. For therapy you can consult a clinical psychologist too. Good luck

Given the severity, cognitive disturbance, and functional impairment, this presentation warrants urgent in-person evaluation. A combined psychiatry–neurology assessment is recommended to rule out organic causes (delirium, post-infectious/inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic) and to initiate structured, closely monitored treatment. Online consultation alone would be insufficient at this stage.

I understand how distressing and overwhelming this situation must be for you as a caregiver. From what you have described, Shruti is currently experiencing significant cognitive and psychiatric symptoms that are affecting her daily functioning and independence. Such presentations can be complex and may require a careful and coordinated evaluation to understand the underlying cause. Conditions involving cognitive disturbances, altered mental clarity, or behavioral changes can sometimes be related to acute psychiatric illness, post-infectious or inflammatory processes, metabolic factors, or neurological involvement. In such cases, a comprehensive assessment by a psychiatrist, and where indicated, a neurologist, is important. This may include detailed clinical evaluation, close monitoring, and collaboration across specialties to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. It would be advisable to seek care at a center or with a clinician experienced in managing neuropsychiatric conditions, delirium, and acute behavioral or cognitive changes. A compassionate, patient-centered approach with regular follow-ups and family involvement can significantly support recovery. Your proactive involvement and concern are very important strengths in her care journey. With appropriate specialist guidance and structured treatment, improvement is possible. Hope this helps.
