Hi,I read you query and do appreciate your concern for your relative. The symptoms that you have mentioned can be due to depression. Depression is a condition in which a person feels sad most of the time, cries spontaneously, has negative thinking, sleep and appetite disturbances, feels tired, etc.Only taking sleep medications will not help in depression. I would suggest you seek a psychiatric consultation for her. Treatment with anti-depressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors will help her in her current situation.Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
