[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. The symptoms which you have described could be due to a neurological disorder or a psychiatric disorder. A neurological problem called Dementia can present with memory deficits and personality changes. Psychiatric disorders like depression can also present with forgetfulness / memory impairment (known as "pseudo-dementia), lack of motivation and alterations in biological functions. Since her symptoms seem to be quite prominent, I would advise you to take her to a doctor, preferably a psychiatrist, for a detailed evaluation. Further treatment will depend on the cause identified. Wish you all the best.
