What do you suggest if my mom is in the hospital because of the voices in her head?

Appropriate: Common cause for admission. Among causes and not in a specific order: infections, drug side effects and/or worsening of previous neurodegenerative conditions. Changes in mental status are always of concern in elderly and they usually require hospitalization.
