[quote=Anonymous]Let her doctor know your concerns so the doctor does a screen and asks questions. Mention going the pain management route or as a treatment for another ailment like headaches perhaps? SSRIs are prescribed for all sorts of things. Also don't enable or reinforce. My therapist had to help me step back. By doing all sorts of things hoping to "rescue" mom and improve her mood, I reinforced staying stuck. When I stepped back and only reinforced positive measures (seeing her friends, getting exercise, etc) she did eventually hit rock bottom and admit to her doctor she was struggling...after the doctor kept probing.[/quote]
