Hi, thought I'd introduce myself

[Bennysmum]

Just wanted to say hello. I visited the site because my mum has been diagnosed with anxiety/depression. I wanted more information on the physical and psychological symptoms and I wanted to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible so that I can help her. Mum is 82 years old. Some problems started three years ago after my dad died suddenly (they had been married for 60 years but they had known each other since they were children so it was very hard for mum) and shortly after mum wasn't very well and the GP prescribed Prozac. She stayed on Prozac for a year and then was able to stop taking this medication but earlier this year problems began again.

I will post more information in a more appropriate area as I am looking for some advice but I just wanted to say a quick hello.

Stay strong & healthy everyone.

Can I ask, are you close to a good hospital with a specialised gerontology team? You may be able to get an assessment of your mum and a talk with a doctor who specialises in this area.

Whatever happens, I hope things work out.

Hey bennysmum,
I can empathise with your situation, I cared for my grandmother after my grandfather passed away.
