My MIL has suffered with depression badly for years. Over the last few days she has gone downhill again. I have never seen anyone like this before. She has had to be admitted to our local mental hospital a few times and even had to go through ECT.
We are waiting for the doctor to get back to us to see if their is a bed for her to go back in this afternoon.
She is very up and down with her moods, one minute very tearful the next aggressive. She can't remember anything. Keeps falling asleep and then waking up confused. She is hearing voices telling her not to do stuff. It's really horrid. It's got to the point where she needs medical help and none of the family can do much more.
