Psilocybin and korsakoff syndrome

Hello everyone,
My mum has suffered from korsakoff syndrome for about 2 years.
Korsakoff syndrome is an alcohol-related brain injury (ARBI). She was an alcoholic and is now in a care home in a wheelchair. She can't walk and can just about communicate, a little.
She can still laugh at our stupid jokes and knows who we are and all that, but she can't express herself and verbalise her thoughts properly, which I know frustrates her a lot.
It's horrible seeing her deteriorate like that and barely exist.
I've recently discovered microdosing and I'm now wondering if I was to give her microdoses of psilocybin, might it alleviate or improve her symptoms?
Or perhaps even try lions mane for a bit first?
Does anyone have any experience of someone microdosing for this reason or similar?
I'm doing some research on neurological disorders and psychedelics but it would be cool to find out if some real people had anything to share or help me with.
Peace.

IF you tried this, there is no stopping what happens for 4 hours, so if she doesn't like it. That would be a horrible thing for her if she could not have verbal communication or the cognitive ability's to understand you when your saying this will only last 4 hours. so keep that in mind.
Also from a legal stand point, does she have the mental ability understand and accept the what you are doing. as in if you asked her if it was something she wanted to try can she signal in some way yes and even then does she understand or does she think it is just the normal tea you make her every day. think of these things.

Thanks for the response.
Nothing would be happening for 4 hours. I'm talking about a microdose, like 50 or 25mg. She won't be tripping she wouldn't even feel it.
She is able to chat with us she just can't talk fluidly for long periods, as in, finishing her thought or sentence, and she would actually find it hilarious if I approached her with the idea of giving her very small doses of magic mushrooms. Our wider family circle are no strangers to substances (unfortunately).
Lion's mane is legal. So that would be worth a try first.

Curious to know if you ended up trying the microdosing with your mom. Im really sorry to hear about her condition.
My mom was actually diagnosed with Korsakoff and we just got her into a home 7 weeks ago. It’s very sad. I am now looking into alternative ways to help her.
Please let me know if you have any update.
Thanks,
Much love.
