Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi dear
I understand your concern.
Alzhiemer means in ability to recall past event and in ability to learn or register new things.

It is one of the type of dementia means memory loss.

Symptoms that have you mentioned is not suggeat dementia.

It can be a part of somatic presentation of depression.


Abdominal pain need to be evaluated in detail. Ultrasonography will give better idea.


For depression you can consult psychiatrist for further assistance.

It can be treated with a SSRI and benzodiazapine.

In SSRI sertraline / escitalopram will be useful.

But take it accroding to your doctors advise.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you further.
