    Vishal Oct 31st, 2009 I faced the same question. First I talked to her very kindly. Then listened to her many hours. Then I understood that she wants to get out of that also. Then I sugested a meeting with psy. She agreed, me and my dad went with her. Motivated to carry uot the medical care.
    She is very nice now.I love to see her happy face.

    Most of the people in this world don't know they have mental problems. That's the main problem of them. Help your mom. I am sure you can. BE HAPPY AND KIND TO HER. AND TRUST HER

    Triss Nov 21st, 2009 You might look in the self-help section of your local bookstore and purchase a book you think would help, as a starting point.
     
    Who knows, she could be dealing with too much stress in her life, she may be dealing with depression... and the list goes on. Wishing you both well!

    dani Nov 21st, 2009 Talk to her when she's in a receptive mood. Like when she will be able to listen to you and isnt' busy with something else and not upset about something. Tell her you're concerned about her because she doesn't seem like her normal self.
    I've had a really bad bout with depression before and my family were telling me I was crabby all the time. I think I had good reason to be crabby because of things they were doing at the time but I started feeling physically exhausted and went to the doctor on my own. I told him what my family had said and he started talking to me about depression.
    Maybe she's not feeling the best herself. Ask how she's feeling and if she's happy.
    She'll be more likely to consider your suggestions if you listen to her first and let her know you really care how she feels.

    Kat Nov 21st, 2009 Quite often this can be caused by an imbalance of hormones or maybe some other physiological factor. Maybe it would be easier to suggest she see her doctor first -- that's if she doesn't bite your head off. Maybe just say something like "Mom, you seem a little stressed lately...maybe just see kind Dr Jones for a little check-up". She must be suffering -- I am sorry.

    Lucky67 Nov 21st, 2009 How old is she? Is she has a happy family? is she has a nice husband and children? Is she happy in her life or married life? Is she too much stressed from work? Is she too stressed by her own children or husband behave?
