Brief Answer:
antidepressants, relaxation exercises.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.
I understand your concerns for your wife.
Depression and inability to sleep from two weeks need evaluation by a psychiatrist.
If these problems persist and left untreated, these can progress to severe depression.
Drugs like escitalopram or sertraline (prescription drug) work well in such cases.
As the depression will improve, the sleep will also improve.
For constipation, bisacodyl tablets can help.
She must drink lots of water and fibrous foods.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation.
Do consult a psychiatrist.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
