Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Welcome to HCM
From the information provided i could understand
1) you have been taking treatment for depression since a decade
2) Concurrent problems of diabetes and high age.

considering the information we have, we need to suspect for the cerebrovascular condition such as stroke, brain bleeds, etc.
I would suggest
1) a brain CT scan
2) ECG
3) complete lipid profile

It can help us to rule out underlying cardiac and vascular causes.
A neurologist and psychiatrist consultation is very much advisable.
