How can anxiety and depression be treated?
human
My mom had a stroke over a year ago. She can no longer stand cannot feed herself as her hands don t have the coordination or strength to do so. She is bedridden, must be bathed, diapered, fed, etc. she gets extremely anxious, and constantly wants you to sit with her hold her hand, etc. she takes lorazepam, one used to help now two are just enough, temporarily. She is depressed and panicky. Is this typical. Can anything be done to improve things

Hello,In my opinion, she has developed a complication of a stroke. She would need escitalopram that can manage her anxiety. Also, check her renal functions and sodium levels.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Gayathri
