She's gaining her weight fast, the so called medicines above making her weak, she is sleeping almost 14 -16 hours, she is not going out every day, especially her weight making me worry about her, she is saying she is happy with medicines, But she get addicted to it, she didn't consult doctor for the last six months, I'm worried So help my mother out of this situation, I was worried, at last she never went through mental illness after taking this medicines, is there any problem for her weight and sleep. Please let me know I want her to be happy.

Since your mom is suffering from mental health try to make her relax, or make her feel relaxed. I know it is easy to say than to do practically. But to come out of it she has to be practice. If she can do ASANAS, PRANAYAMS and meditation she will come out of the problem. She can also start ASHWAGANDHADI Ghan Vati in empty stomach with water twice daily, also ASHWAGANDHARISTHA 10 ml+ DASMOOLARISTHA 10 ml + water 20 ml after lunch and dinner.

You did not mention what was the diagnsis, I guess it could be Bipolar disorder, Weight gain is commonly seen in patients while on Olanzepine and to some extent Lithium also (Lithic). When she is showing good response it is advisable not to change medication. To counter weight gain ask her to reduce or avoid fatty foods, and do exercise to the extent. Get her evaluated for possible reduction or change certain medication.
