I suspect, my mother is suffering from drug-induced Parkinsonism. Initially, the treatment was for Panic Disorder due to me leaving for higher-studies. The medicines given were Petril, Arip different dosages at different points of time. I did come to home 3 times in between. The gap between my 3rd visit and now 4th visit is 9 months. Everything was fine for a couple of days but then she suddenly lost sleep pattern, cognitive abilities and a hunch back appearance came to place. All this happened in a span of a week and half. Please suggest whether we should continue consulting the present Psychiatrist or change to another one. Also, will a neurologist help?

It can be drug induced parkinsonsim and it is reversible, consult the same psychiatrist and get the medications revised after explaining the issues. Good luck.
