Suggest Therapy For Depression & Bipolar Disorder

I need help. My mother is in the hospital and I donâ??t think the doctors know what is going on with her she has been going in the hospital ever since I was little. Doctors have diagnosed her with depression, then bipolar disease, then lupis, during Christmas week she went into the hospital for a grand mall seizure and was in there for about two weeks. And now she is unable to move, sometimes unable to breath, wonâ??t eat unresponsive, has a blank expression, tired all the time, unable to talk, and has extreme changes in blood pressure. This time the doctors have diagnosed her with drug abuse, Catatonic schizophrenia, and encephalitis. She has been in the hospital since about the beginning of February.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, in her case, diagnosis should be clear. Treatment depends upon diagnosis and if there is confusion over it, then better to start antidepressant with antipsychotic simultaneously. Better to consult a psychiatrist and in case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
