Hello, I was wondering if i could get some help regarding the after death trauma of a husband. My question is is it normal for this person to stay silent for almost 2 months even thou she is in a hospital and all her sons and daughters are around her all the time. I wanted to know and make sure because someone i know is telling me that this is the case but i have doubts that its a lie Thank you,
Hi and thanks for questions. Trauma after death is grief reaction which occur in most person. It will take time to resolve minimum 1 month to maximum 6 months. So I will suggest wait up to 6 months. If pt is not taking food or in severe grief than required treatment and counselling.in treatment antidepressant like venlafaxine or Escitalopram or anxiolytic like tab. Clonazepam give. And kindly consult if more problematic. Thanks
