[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dealing with this now. My mom is widowed, finally got a diagnosis of anxiety and depression and under care of a geriatrician who has prescribed her Wellbutrin and Remeron.

She is now in an independent living community

Can you begin to make some plans? Get her to a doctor for some baseline checks (MMSE-memory) and screenings? Make the physicians be the bearers of good and bad news.

Is your mom driving? Pro tip: in VA, you can anonymously request a medical review be opened on a driver. Packet of forms sent to driver with 30 days to respond. Hold or note placed on drivers license while under review then if no action, license gets suspended.

I have more tips as going through this now with mom and MIL.

She has a thousand drs and not driving bc of physical stuff. But will never agree to go into any kind of home or community in a thousand years. The mh issue is not well controlled despite best efforts of extremely well regarded drs in large city. I feel kind of hopeless [/quote]
