My mother's deteriorating mental health
My mother has become very withdrawn emotionally. She used to be very active and caring earlier, but now she shows no interest in family, cooking, or anything she used to love. She forgets things frequently, doesn’t react emotionally, sometimes says she wants to be left alone. She doesn’t eat properly and is always irritated. We’ve done basic blood tests, and they were normal. I’m very worried.
