I think I've met her here???
 I'm kidding Deb!! HUGS!
I don't know my mother in law is the SAME way. The most negative person you could ever be around. To the point that nobody does want to be around her for very long. |

Deb, she needs to be evaluated for Dementia or early onset Altzheimers. They do this clinically it's just a series of questions like who is the President, what year is it, etc. But she needs to be seen. Even her G.P. Can evaluate her. We had to do that with my Mom. |

Suppose talking to her is out of the question...call a therapist for help, don't go straight for putting her away as it may not need to go that far yet. |

Hate to say it but.... maybe it is time for your brother to move out things could change.
She might be feeling as if her world has been invaded by him even if he does do the cleaning she no longer has her world and her time. Just and opinion, then if it continues then seek medical advice. |

But things like driving are usually the first things to go because they can be downright dangerous. |

It sounds like it could be dementia or Alzheimer’s? Has she been seen by a doctor recently about her mental state?

my grandmother acted the same way....
dad took her for a physical and they found her BP was way high....this contributed to her moodiness. get them in for a check-up soon.....it will be covered. if counseling is required after this the doctor can recommend it, and it will be covered also. just my thoughts...... |

Sounds more of a case of Depression her medical will pay for that if she see's a doctor concerning Depression and it could just be a matter of the correct meds to bring her out of it.
