My 87 year old father has been spending, at a minimum, 16-18 hours a day in bed. He is in good physical health and has recently been diagnosed with major depression. He is currently taking the following medications
HIT hanks for using Chat Doctor Learn consists of Escitalopram, and it takes two weeks to show response, so wait for few days. With antidepressant, his mood and interaction would improve. Dose would be gradually escalated according to need, so better consult psychiatrist when you feel. You can follow slight lifestyle modification in form of morning or evening walk, any meditation or yoga. This would help him. Thanks
