Becoming Aggressive, Sometimes Tired, Recovers From Depression. Want Opinion
Hello Doctor. This is regarding the health of my mother, who is 84 yrears. Past one year, she seems to get aggressive for one or two days in a month. She keeps yelling at everyone, saying they have all her belongings. Keeps packing her bags and tries to go out. We have to retain her forcibly. But after a day or two she looks very tired and seems like recovered from a major depression and becomes normal. We doubt it is some sort of sickness and would like to have your opinion in this regard pls..
Hello
It is very clear from your description that she is not well and need help of a psychiatrist as she may be most probably suffering of depression.... In old age depression is more aggressive and difficult to manage ...but it is very well treatable by medicines....you just consult a psychiatrist and get her started on medication and she will be fine in no time....
Tale care
