Aphasia is the name: for the symptoms you describe. The brain knows what it wants to say but doesn't connect w/the voice. I don't know if your mom has this and encourage you to get a second opinion. Also, a neuropsychologist can do extensive testing and offer a diagnosis and ways to deal w/this. Peace and good health.
