If she says something about a situation and I correct her with respect she gets mad. She doesn't listen to me concerning her meds and when i ask her if shes taken her meds she gets mad. I love my mom but she is wearing on my nerves with yelling at me and being uncooperative. Please tell me what to do. She has recently been put on antidepressant and i think this may be causing the mood change. help
It's possible that she should be checked for dementia, as well, however if this behavior wasn't an issue before the antidepressant, it's quite likely that the drug is the cause. Either way, the doctor needs to know so he or she can help. Please call as soon as possible and let the the doctor know about this change.
Take care,
Carol
