My mom (61) has been diagnosed with depression 1 month ago. She is currently taking tablet soltus 50 mg, escitalent and rejunex. We took her to the Neuro psychiatrist 2 days after her symptoms started (such as complete lack of emotion ,distant gazing eyes, pessimistic views such as how will I live like this, not interested or sacred of not been able to do the daily chores specially cooking, She complains about feeling a void all the time, but tells me wants to get better). My mom (single mother) was a govt. OFFICER took vrs 4 years ago. She is a very strong, determined and complete workaholic. My dad expired untimely 11 years ago (Also a govt employee. I have cracked ibps and will be joining soon. She had suffered from ppd before.(had 3 miscarriages due to work pressure ,late marriage at 31). I have never seen her like this. Her face looks miserable all the time. How should I behave with her. Please help me. Also we have sold our house (my dad made it) as it was too big for my mother to manage and shifted to a 3 bhk nearby.(She complains a lot about small space but it was her decision)
