I need help !
10 days ago my mom started acting in this way:
She become angry at anything, her face become red, started talking about something that does not have sense, if I ask her something she gets very agitated, start smoking 1-2 packs of cigarettes daily , she sleeps only 3-5 hours now......
We went to doctor 3 days ago and he prescribed sertraline 50mg and trazodone 50mg.
Things are getting worse each day, now she is doing all kind of "crazy" stuff,throwing food from fridge into garbage (saying food is too old), opening every window (saying we need frash air)....etc...
Most important thing: She is like this ALL the time, 50% of time its impossible to talk to her (cusz she is talking what she wants), another 50% she is doing all other stuff I mentioned above.).
She never acts NORMAL,like she did before this started.
Before all this she was perfectly normal,maybe once -twice a year she was in very bad mood but that lasted only one-two day.
My biggest concern and what I would like to get answer is this:
Why this last so long?
Why is so severe?
Is there anyone else here who had family member with same symptoms? Will she be back to normal and how long it takes?
Reading past 2 days about this I cant find anywhere that someone had so severe symptoms.
She turned from normal person into this in one day!
She lost complitly feeling about what is going on around her.
Me and my wife have to be all the time with her in our house because she will do something bad if she see us outside.
I cried a lot today because i feel helpless. Doctor says "it happens", that's "normal when you have Anxiety"....
But is it really normal?
We think she was worry about her brother who is sick, but his sickness is not life threatening. We are waiting for blood results and MRI.
And I would like to mention again, she is feeling like that all the time, its not like this happens few times a day...
We have to watch her 24 hours a day
