[|Human|] My mother is Japanese and 82 years old. She is hearing things that aren t real. A couple oftimes she has even called the Police to check the sounds out. Her memory is fine and she is able to do for herself. Everything else seem fine with her. Is this a normal aging thing?
[|AI|]  Hi, I can understand your concern for unusual voices perceived by your mother. Auditory hallucination at this age is commonly seen in psychotic illness like Schizophrenia, brief psychotic disorder, dementia, or in depression with psychotic symptoms or secondary to organic brain damage. For this, she needs psychiatric evaluation. Psychiatrist will interview her to identify the cause of these experiences. Kindly go for psychiatric consultation. Normal aging does not cause this kind of experiences. Wish her good health. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
