What Causes Irritability And Mood Swings In An Elderly Person?
Hi Dr,I am going to ask about my mother. she is in the age of 60 s. she was very sociable and she was always happy to help people. But since 2012 she develops different character which is completely different from the past. she hates people very much. she always thinks negative towards any one even for some one who wants to help her. she almost stopped looking the positive side. I want if you could help me with this situation, I want to know If there could be a medication for that.Thanks,

Hi,
It seems that she might be having acute depression following menopause.
This occurs due to depletion of estrogen or hormonal imbalance.
She might require psychiatric treatment with counseling.
Consult Gynaec, hormonal replacement therapy will be of much helpful.
Ok and take care.
