Yes, I agree. I have encouraged her, along with her primary, but my mom has diagnosed extreme anxiety. She is also stubborn and prone to ignore advice. I can’t see it happening.

My mom has severe reflux and has had bleeding ulcers. Constantly reports esophagus issues, but eats all the wrong foods that aggravate her condition. It’s frustrating. She’s been this way her entire life . I buy and prepare healthful and nutrious meals and snacks, but they rarely interest her. She’ll eat things and then complain how sick she feels. She always says she wants good health, but she doesn’t follow through. I’ve suggested talk therapy, but she refuses. I’ve done all I can at this point. I encourage her to get treatment, drive her there, but can’t make her follow recommendations. It’s frustrating.
