How old is the person in your care? Is the anxiety recent (last few months) or was this person always a nervous, distrusting person?
Have you scheduled/encouraged this person to be examined by a doctor and requested a full blood panel and urinalysis as part of the examination?
Has anyone besides you noticed changes in the person’s demeanor/attitude/emotional reactions?
Has the person for whom you care experienced or initiated a change in personal routine/daily habits/personal care?

Too little information. Can you share more about your mother's condition?
