Hi Sir Thanks for seeking help here. After carefully listening to you history. I feel your mother may have Dementia which may be Alzheimer's disease. So the behaviour symptoms are quite common in Alzheimer's disease. As the disease progress we usually see more symptoms. Still I suggest you sir, we need detail evaluation of her condition and cognitive assessment. She may beneficial of using T. Quitipin for behavioral problems and Donepezil for dementia. But Don't start any medication without details consultation. Happy to help you. We will guide you every steps in detail evaluation. Meet a Neurologist or Psychiatrist who is specialised with Geriatric Psychiatry. Best centre in India is NIMHANS for this.
