Anxiety, Frustration & Irritation
My mother has been having problems with her behavior since last 4-5yrs. She has been going through menopause. My parents always had a little stressful relationship but lately she is impossible to talk and thinks that she is a victim of everything, that all of us are against her. She is very very critical and cuz her body doesnt support her due to arthritis and age catching up she stays frustated a lot. Also she isn't ready to go for therapy as she thinks it means she is crazy, but she just has a major mood issues whib has gotten worse in years. I understand that menopause can do this but it has not decreased. What am I supposed to do? I am worried that it may lead her to actually loose her mind..any suggestion's?

Hello. It seems that your mother is suffering from chronic pain issues and with menopausal mood changes. She might have had an underlying mood disorder previously as well. Will she see a gynae doctor? If you can talk to the gynaecologist first and inform the doctor of your mother's mood issues, the gynae can either prescribe some meds herself or refer your mother to a psychiatrist. This will probably help the family into coaxing your mother to see a psychiatrist as a doctor's advice is taken more seriously.
