Hello. Thanks for the answers.
Sorry for the delay.
There are possibilities of a depressive or anxiety disorder. Talking to self might be because of thoughts racing in your mind, that in turn is because of anxiety.
Both the disorders are very well treatable with medications, these days SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) group of drugs.
However, as your age is 60 and you have a cardiac illness and last check up was 3 yrs back, better to have a cardiologist check up, before starting these drugs.
One need to take a psychiatric consultation, that will surely help.
Hope I answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
