Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
I can understand your concerns for your father.

I would advice you to take him to a psychiatrist for proper evaluation and treatment.
If you could list the medications used, i would be able to suggest a different and hopefully effective treatment.

Psychological therapies like biofeedback and progressive muscle relaxation work very well for anxiety.

Thanks.
