Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Your father have depression and mental problem. Depression is commonest psychiatrist disorder which cause significant morbidity. I would advise you to get him checked with a good psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Common drugs used for depression are SSRIs like Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Paroxetine etc, or SNRIs as Duloxetine, and other drugs as Mirtazapine, Bupropion etc. These medicines help in reducing depressive symptoms in about 4-8 weeks and maintenance treatment can go unto 6 months to 2 years.

Apart from medicines Cognitive Therapy have excellent roles in depression. The therapy help to clear cognitive distortions and results in improvement in depression.

Thanks, consult a psychiatrist for his treatment.
