Can someone tell me what illness my Grandmother may have?OK, I'll try to make it short: One Sunday afternoon I was helping shave my Grandfather because he has trouble standing up. I took a towel from to dry his face from the cupboard where all the towels were. As I was toweling his face my Grandmother walks in and see's me doing this and notices the towel I was using. Immediately, she yelled "why are you using this towel, this towel I don't want you to use"!!! I said, "Grandma, it's just an old towel - I'll wash it". She became outraged yelling, "NO - NO You Can't Be using it because I SAID SO"!!! Then she began crying - YES actually crying, saying "I'll kick you out of this house if you don't listen to me"!!! I just brushed it off while mumbling under my breathe "she's lost it" and walked away. As soon as I walked away that seemed to aggrevate her more and she came after me wanting to hit me. I simply dodged her and went into my room and locked the door.
I was blown away to say the least, but not the first time something like this has happened with her. She definitely has some sort of control issue and lots of built up rage but I'm sure there's a lot more underlying issues that could be assessed. Can anyone help me determine what kind of illness or disorder my Grandmother may have or what may come to mind??

Could it just simply be old age? She's senile?
I know very old people can act a little strange. I mean, I was in a Walmart the other day standing in line because I was going to query about whether they had a certain movie, and an old lady in one of those automatic wheel-chair carts drove up next to me. She asked me "Where are the phones?" Of course, I was stuck in the clouds like always and I turned and asked "What?" and she screamed "The phones! Where are the 'phones'!!" Threw me off, so to say, and I just said "Sorry, I wouldn't know. I don't work here."
She answered "Of course you work here!" before she drove off muttering. Later on while buying my stuff, she held up the line for twenty minutes while arguing with someone about something stupid. All I know is she kept repeating things, and the employee kept saying the same thing.
