Suggest Treatment For Bipolar Disorder And Depression

I need help. My mother is in the hospital and I donâ??t think the doctors know what is going on with her she has been going in the hospital ever since I was little. Doctors have diagnosed her with depression, then bipolar disease, then lupis, during Christmas week she went into the hospital for a grand mall seizure and was in there for about two weeks. And now she is unable to move, sometimes unable to breath, wonâ??t eat unresponsive, has a blank expression, tired all the time, unable to talk, and has extreme changes in blood pressure. This time the doctors have diagnosed her with drug abuse, Catatonic schizophrenia, and encephalitis. She has been in the hospital since about the beginning of February.

Hi

I had gone through your query.

You mentioned a list of diagnosis like depression,bipolar,catatonic schizophrenia etc.

It is difficult to understand your query.

She had drug abuse and seizure also.

So it may complicate your diagnosis.

Unable to move with mutism may indicate catatonic schizophrenia.

She require indoor psychiatric care.

Catatonia and seizure can be treated with medicines.

Investigations like MRI with epilepsy protocol will help to find underlying causes.

Catatonic schizophrenia has good prognosis if it diagnosed properly.

Still have query to feel free to ask me directly on http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-vishal-garala/68046

Thank you.
