Specializes in Endocrinology

Consider evaluation: Recommend seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist along with letting her primary care doctor/geriatrician know. Depression in elderly is not uncommon & there are treatments besides medications that could improve her quality of life. Try to engage her in social activities & manage stress accordingly
