Hearing voices
My grandmother has a continuous problem of hearing voices that mostly speaks about killing people or something like that and so she shouts a lot and feels irritated. Mostly the noises speaks what she thinks. We provided her treatment but that didn't work. Is there any treatment for such disease. Please provide the details of this kind of disease and how to properly deal with it.

She has to be given treatment continuously and at this age her memory also should be tested . Apart from her medication , she should also be educated about her illness once her symptoms start reducing . Do not criticise her , just provide warmth and support .
