Depression, Dementia. After Medication Low Saline Level. Stopped Medication. Latest Development In Medication?

Hi
My mother is 89 year old Mum and lives in England with my sister. Mum is suffering from depression and dementia.
When the doctors tried to treat the depression several years ago the side effect of the drug brought Mums saline level drug to a level so low they stopped the treatment.
Have there been any new developments where a treatment might be available to help us with our problem.
Regards
Dave

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Depression along with dementia is definitely a concerning old age problem. Mind you, you are talking about a soul who is 89. Treatment methods suitable to such age is definitely psychiatric medication which is already given.

Meditation and yoga are techniques which needs to be mastered to perfection, which takes time. Still there is hope. There are no new technologies in meditation. These were mastered through ages and ages.

Consult a yoga master for further advice
