Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I do appreciate your concern regarding your wife's condition. from what you have mentioned, she seems to be suffering from depressive episode. All her symptoms are understandable in that context.

The treatment that you have mentioned includes a benzodiazepine (for decreasing anxiety) and a pain killer. I would suggest that you talk to your psychiatrist again regarding adding an anti-depressant medication. Medications like escitalopram or venlafaxine would be effective in treating her depression.

Hope that I was able to answer your query. Wishing your wife a speedy recovery.
