How Can Depression And Anxiety Be Treated?

I m very concerned for my 65 yoa female friend. She has been depressed and anxious about her 40 yoa daughter and her problems. Everything she eats runs right through her and she s always nauseous. She is down 25 lbs. and eats very little but even that doesn t stay with her. YYYY@YYYY

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,

In my opinion, it is important to check for blood sugar levels, find out if any infections are causing loss of weight.

You can take antidepressants like Mirtazapine. Do moderate exercise and an adequate diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
