Hello,
After reading disease and the medicines I feel some mismatch. Frisium and olanze are giving in depression and anxiety and bipolar disorders. There is no mention of such symptoms. If he has these symptoms then it's okay. Other wise you need to visit your neurologist . A subdural hematoma is usually drained and patients do recover if drainage is done immediately. The paralysis may or may not be related to this hematoma. This paralysis is secondary to some other pathology? If it's not worked up, you need to discuss it with your neurologist. Paralysis, once developed is not reversible as the brain damage is almost never recovered especially in old age and hope reduces further once almost 1 year has elapsed. But to prevent recurrence of the same, he needs to be on medicines and needs workup for cause if not done earlier.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
