How do you cure emotional numbness in elderly perosn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
???: I'm not sure you do. It depends on what's causing the "numbness" -- or if it's truly numbness at all. Depression, stroke, and dementia, etc are all possible reasons for "numbness", and they have different treatments. Please consult your doctor for an evaluation and suggestions.
