Suggest Treatment For Stress
my aunt seems to be finding it hard to speak and get her words out. She is also not walking properly. She is tearful, stressed, forgetful and unable to cope with any situation no matter how small. She went to see a doctor which has sent her for tests urgently. The family would like to know what the doctors are looking for and what the problem would possible be. Lynda

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
The way, you have mentioned the symptoms, i would keep possibility of depression and in that case, you should consult a psychiatrist for her mental evaluation. May be, she has underline neurological disorder due to her age, but more possibility of depression. Wait for reports and in case, investigations come normal, then consult a psychiatrist for proper mental evaluation and management.
Thanks
