Suggest Treatment For Medication Phobia

Hi doctor, This is Sayanti from India ,West bengal. My home town is kolkata. My mother is suffering from many types of problems, and the doctor is giving separate drugs to cover up each problem. now she is just tired to take all those drugs, what should be the proper way to treate my mother, she just hates drugs now. She knows the BP controlling tab, thyroid controling tab, an alzolum group tab and a digetion tab are essential to survive at her physical condition. so, she is ready to take those but many other problems are there. what to do?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for the query; How old is your mother? Whether she is a diagnosed case of hypothyroidism, diabetes, hypertension (based on blood tests, symptoms & physical examination by a qualified doctor) & hence taking all these medications under proper medical supervision? Also, whether she is constantly troubled by various poorly explained physical symptoms like indigestion, belching, gas, menstrual problems, frequent headaches, sleeping difficulties with requirements of sleeping pills like alprazolam, headaches, body pains etc.? If it is so, then your mother may be in fact suffering from Depression. Too many times depression tends to occur with diabetes, blood pressure problems & thyroid problems & often gets undiagnosed, untreated with a poor quality of life.
Consult your GP/Psychiatrist for assessment of depression, use of drug like Daxid, Nexito etc. to treat her symptoms or get back to me for further assistance Hope this helps; good luck
