My mother had an accident 3 years ago. Since then, she became a really different person. First, I was changing too and I hated her. Nowadays I understand her. She's having panic attacks, she's always angry, not joyful anymore, can't stand argues, when argue starts she's starting to yell, changes her opinion in 1 second. Once I told her to go to any psychiatrist and guess what she said? 'Am I crazy?' and she was mad at me.
I told her it's the normalest thing in the world everyone can have mental disorders it's okay but she didn't listen.
She never listens me, does what she wants.
I don't really know what to do.
She's going to marry in 5 months and I know she'll be happy but won't change.
I'm glad her husband is an understanding person, despite everything my mother said to him cause he always knows that my mother didn't mean it when she said it.
What is your thoughts?

If your mother lives independently and is making her own decisions which she probably is since she will soon marry, there isn’t much you can do. You can not force her to get treatment or counseling. Her soon-to-be husband may have more luck speaking with her about getting help. She sounds like the sort of person who subscribes to the theory that children should do as they’re told and not tell their parents what to do. Do not argue with your mother. Stay away from touchy subjects like her mental issues. It’s most likely best if you try to keep things calm for her.
