Suggest Treatment For Severe Anxiety And Paranoia
My children s father is 70 years old, was diagnosed with prostate cancer, had it removed & underwent radiation treatments. He s also had triple by-pass surgery and has been taking Lupron injections each every 3 months for the cancer. For the last month or so, he s been experiencing severe anxiety and has exhibited very irrational fears & odd behavior, along with paranoia. He s turning into a stranger. He actually has symptoms of dementia...all commencing just a few weeks ago. Thanks, Connie

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the condition is due to severe depression and combined anxiety. After thorough clinical examination in my clinic, I do recommend anti-depressant as Venlafaxine or other serotonin reuptake inhibitor which will help both aspects of irritability, anxiety and associated features.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
