Her son is a complete basket-case and he is certified...Sad...
Lately she claims that there is a weasel living in her attic...making noises, and dragging something. She bought an expensive trap to catch this thing, of course, to no avail...
What do you think?

She is retired, and worried for her old age...I told her to seek professional help, she does not want to be medicated. The other thing is I could refer her to a pdoc....but I am not sure how effective meds are for this type of a problem.
I don't see a link between frugality and psychosis

Could this woman's problem be dementia?
