My mum recently became very suspicious and hallucinating often. She keeps accusing me for doing things I haven't done and she kicked my dad out for "cheating". I don't know what to do. It is a genetic thing since her brother has the same condition however his was since he was a teenager. I'm 16 btw.

Hello, I’m so sorry she’s unwell. To me it sounds like schizophrenia? I recommend maybe calling a GP on her behalf, as often people with schizophrenia find it very hard to recognise their abnormal behaviour. Or speak to another loved one about the issue.

This hits really close to mum, I've experienced almost the same thing with my mum when I was younger. Do you have any older relatives that you can talk to? Siblings, aunts/uncles, grandparents? Or perhaps family friends? Hang in there OP, I know how terrifying it can be

We took her to the GP and she has delirium which could last forever. Thanks so much. I want to talk to others about it but my mum is a very lowkey person, she hates when people know about her being ill. Even when she had a thyroid surgery years ago she didn't even tell her mum.

I'm scared it could lead to dementia. Because its very likely to happen. But I'm praying for the best.

You can 'phone and e-mail and do an online chat with a counsellor as well. I think that this would help you, as you need ongoing support with this. Here you go - get in touch with them today.

Hahah. Thanks so much! You too. My mum wouldn't like it if I tell anyone though. She didn't tell anyone about her previous surgeries or anything bad happening to her. So even though she is ill I want to respect her. I spoke to my close friend about it though.
