Hi,
I can understand the situation your Father is going through after an accident and chronic disease that he is going through depression and no interest in life.
Such a situation are very tricky and thus a Specialist's opinion such as that of a Psychiatrist is best sought after, proper treatment and counselling done.
At the same time you all as family members should try to understand the basic reason that he has transformed and thus try to avoid the factors that instigate or enhance the problems and all the family members have to assist him well for him to come out of his psychiatric problems.
Continue the medications given by the Psychiatrist and have regular follow up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
