Need to consult psychiatrist for father
My father is talking about random things at any serious moment. He is not able to rember things like if he step out he forgets the way to reach home. He is not able to wear cloths properly. He always talk out of the topic things but he always have a perfect reasoning for every things. Like if we said what you do this or said this he always have a perfect reply for that at the moment. So I want to consult if he is trying to confused us or he is really ill.
