I'm getting more and more worried about ***** as she gets worse and worse over time. There is a
distinct personality change, which can best be perceived by someone who has lived with ***** for most of her life.The dx is major clinical depression and once the medication has been completely cut, the situation is getting terrible. Yet, the dr. has approved this (i suppose legally you cannot deny the freedom to do so). It could also be a head injury or Serzone liver damage or situational stuff-- but the latter would have to be concurrent with any other three possibles, because the personality change is sudden and dramatic.
I regret that i cannot participate in explaining what i have observed for confidentiality reasons, and rather resent that on the basis of (****'s) advice of suspicion that i may be schizophrenic, i was prescribed antipsychotics and more tranquillizers on top of the lithium i have taken and the present tranqs.
I did not take these drugs. What I wanted was an explanation not something to shut me up. I am fine personally, but i am worried about someone who is becoming psychotic, depressed and was suicidal (the means were prepared and seen), and may be again.
I don't know what is going on. I worry that it may be the worst, brain tumour or something like that and that is why everyone is so darn mysterious.
It seems that there is nothing i can do but hope and trust the dr. I am a trusting person but in the case I am mystified.
