[quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted about this before for different reasons but cannot find the post to re up it. My mother has severe anxiety, panic and ocd. It’s seemingly not controlled by medication despite her having a ‘renowned’ psychiatrist and many many meds that are constantly being tweaked. My father literally can’t go anywhere bc she freaks out. It’s totally unsustainable and if he passes away I will not be this person for her. She already has round the clock carers. She seems wildly detached from the reality of her situation. I’m thinking she may need to go for inpatient at some point with a facility who can try to sort her mental health out but does that exist? She has no one but the two of us but incapable of any independence. I have incredibly intense job and two kids, one of whom has sn of his own. They have $. Any advice welcome![/quote]
