[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. Aggressive behavioral change in the elderly can be due to various causes. Some common causes are late-onset psychosis, depression and dementia. Certain types of dementia like frontal lobe dementia can present with a predominant change in behavior, without any significant impairment in memory initially. Your mother will need a detailed psychological assessment in order to find out the probable cause of her problem. It is not advisable to start medication on your own since they can have untoward side effects, especially in the elderly. Helical is an anti-psychotic medication which has to be prescribed only for specific indications in the appropriate dosage. So, please take her to a doctor for an evaluation, so that appropriate treatment can be started. Wish you all the best.
