Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.I understand that you are quite concerned about your mother's recent symptoms of suspiciousness, violent behaviour, etc. From the description of her symptoms it appears that she may be suffering from a psychotic disorder. However, a detailed history and psychological assessment is necessary in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis. Since you have mentioned that she is having significant symptoms, it would be best if he has a proper evaluation of her problems, so that a correct diagnosis can be made and he can be helped. So, I would advise you to get her to see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help. If she is not willing, you can contact the community health team to arrange for a home visit.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
