How can abnormal notions about ill-health after noticing minor brain shrinkage be managed?
human
My father is 78 years. Last year we have done the MRI of brain suggested by a neurologist. Minor brain shrinkage is detected but he was normal for about one year. But now he is in severe depression. He is physically fit no blood pressure no sugar. We have consulted psychiatric but not great effect. He is feeling like he has been bitten by dog when he was child. And so the poison of it is converting now my body into a dog. What should I do now?
