Suggest Treatment For Depression And Mood Swings

My mom moved her mother in her home because she can't take care of her self. I have noticed in the past few months that my mother is getting very angry with my father and I,she is starting to get upset with anything and everything. Nothing makes her happy and I'm very worried. Is there any thing she could take to calm her nerves.

Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Your mother has moved her mother to house as she was not able to take care of her, this could be one factors that can be a contributory factor for her symptoms. She is showing anger outbursts with your father, getting upset on everything, not getting happiness with anything and this is probably due to adjustment disorder. Though detailed evaluation is needed to make final diagnosis. I would advise you to ask her for relaxation exercises, yoga to keep her relaxed. This will help to reduce her anxiety.
Also if symptoms don't improve then consult a psychiatrist. Medicines like SSRIs as Fluoxetine, Sertraline etc are commonly used in adjustment disorder with depressive symptoms. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, hope this helps you
