Suggest Treatment For Hypertension And Alcoholism
i need a counsellor or psychatrist for my dad
can u help?
I am Nimisha. Appeared std 10th now. My mother works in a bank as a cashier. My dad left his job when i was born. He to be frank dint really try after then much to get a new job. Its almost 17yrs past that my mother has been the one to finance all our needs. From my childhood itself I've observed that my dad never liked to be amonng relatives or friends too. Till today we hardly know who his friends are. He even dosent have that good relations with his mother or brothers. And to talk of my dad and mom's relation I've seen them always either fighting with each other or getting so frustated that though living in the same house being unwanted for each other. My father drinks alot. My mum had tried innumerable times to stop this by talking to him, explaining him, but to no effect. He's has hypertension and many times he has vomitted even little amounts of blood. Dr. said that it was due to excessive drinking.
He has been almost alone these years. Even if we ask he dosent share anything with us.there had been a few family problems between my dad's brother and my mom i mean they had a fight.... from then my dad belives that my mother creates only problems for him.
since nearly two-three years I'v heard him abusing my mom and praying even for her death in her absence. when she comes home from her work he denies even the simplest things where he can help my mom.rather he said this to me few times that now he will only trouuble her. along these years he has grown into the habbit of talking to himself loudly. he keeps on talking the whole day about my mom n keeps abusing and cursing her.
compared to normal ppl hhe really behaves weirdly at times....even as a dad when i compare him with others' wherever we go he behaves strangely and we always have to be ashamed of it......
for a bettr living three of ours mind has to be changd. what can u suggest in our case? should we consult a counsellor or a psychatrist?
sorry for taking your time
hope to get ur reply
thnx
hv a gud day

Hi,
Your father needs a psychiatrist urgently. He is in depression, severe depression, he would be started on medicine like paroxetine Ssri's which would increase the level of Seritonin in his mind and will help him to recover from depression. Therapy with a camprost can also be given to help him with habits of drinking a minimum of 3 months if anti-depressants would be given to him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rishu Saxena
