What causes crying spells, slurred speech and irrationality?
human
My daughter has had her thyroid removed. She is now having more problems since having surgery. Levels are off the chart. She has been given depakoat and atavan. She is like a zombie, crying spells. slurred speech, cannot make rational decisions. She is in management with a large celluar company. She has been seeing a dr. at M.D. Amderson for about three years before having thyroid removed. We are at our wits end. She is now seeing psychiatrist who have diagnosed her as bi-polar, which seems to only make things worse. I want my daughter to be healthy and happy again. It has been a long road. She has now been given abilify to try. Does any one know what is the matter with my daughter?

Hi.I had gone through your concern.If she diagnosed with bipolar then treatment with mood stabilizer is advisable to maintain her mood in euthymia.Depakote is one of the mood stabilizer and cab be useful to treat bipolar disorder.Thyroid removal can also causes mood features so medical treatment of it also necessary.Depakote will take time for its action. It will show response within 3 week of treatment.Regular treatment and compliance to medicine will help to recover fast.Psychological counseling will help to elevate her mood and boost her confidence in work.I hope i have answered your query.Thank you.
