Hello,
How long does she take medications for Alzheimer? What are the medications she is taking?
Mood swings are common symptoms in Alzheimer disease. I suggest you to take T.Lexapro OD (once daily) and consult a Neurologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
