Suggest Treatment For Aggressive Behaviour And Obsession

my mother was going try menopause this year + hard physical work,she lost 15-20 kg this summer.she is suspecting that my father cheated her with another woman .she has nerve attacks frequently (forcing my father to tell her the truth and admit what he did -she is sometimes aggressive - hitting him and trowing things on him).My father`s behavior is not normal too,sometimes when they argue I get angry on my father`s answers too and I can understand why my mother is doing this....but the problem is that my mother is obsessed -she is talking and thinking mostly about what my father did this summer.she had some symptoms as lack of concentration and she is complainin that she doesnt has energy to work .. Can you pls tell me something about this,what I can do for my mother,because I know her condition wont get better if I dont do something

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi dear

I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

Aggressiveness and irritability occur sometimes as postmenopausal syndrome.

Mood variation and lack of interest in work can be part of postmenopausal phosphoric.

Postmenopausal symptoms are common, some of them do not requirre treatment and some require treatment like SSRI.

Among SSRI sertraline 50 mg is advisable to control all this symptoms.

Besides this suspiciousness that your father cheated her is kind of psychotic feature and unusual. Because it is not a part of postmenopausal symptoms.

So psychotic illness need to be ruled out. For that you have to consult psychiatrist for evaluation.
All symptoms that have you mentioned are mix of certain illnesses.

So detail evaluation is must to reach proper conclusion. Based on we able to give proper suggestion and treatment.

I hope i have answered your query.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
take care.
