Hi lybrate-user, I believe your mother has undergone some surgery or medical procedure in past and mycophenolate is an immunosuppresant given for the same, she probably has adjustment disorder and might need an SSRI for the same. Since you are in mumbai, go to the psychiatrist who is senior and has experience in geriatric patients, I believe your mother will be all right, best of luck.
