I have a sister who is mentally retarded aged 40 years.  From last two months she is behaving abnormal. She is always restless and starts weeping.  In last week, she left home twice without informing and traced after 4-5 hours in my brothers house which is 6-7 km from my house.

Hello,Most probably she is having some new psychiatric.problem but one needs to talk to her or atleast know why she runs or cries? if she is fearful of something or sad..? answer to the reason of her behaviour will decide which drug is to be given. Withoit knowing this it will be wrong to put her on any new drug. Such patients who have MR are prone to.develop side effects fast; so try to figure out why she does all this by making her talk And then we can think about drug managment.Wish you good health.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Neuropsychiatry
