Does Chemo Cause Frustration, Mood Swings And Depression?

Hello, My mom is behaving wierd from the couple of weeks. She is always frustrated, angry, and talks a lot. Sometimes she even says that she will kill herself. Im concerned about her behavior. At first i thought its a side effect of the chemo she was facing for the cancer. But now i don t understand. Please suggest something.

Hello

I am sorry for her situation
As you explain she is experiencing a kind of depression related to her disease. It would be better to contact her doctor to prescribe a medication which will help her a lot.
