Help! My DM who is in her late 70s developed severe depression and anxiety about a year ago and things are getting worse.
Yesterday she said she couldn't be left alone because she felt out of control, and was terrified, so I dropped everything and have spent the night at hers. I phoned the crisis team and eventually they agreed they will send someone out today.
But where do we go from here? I am worried we will just get platitudes from them and an instruction to wait for psychiatry appointment ( which is 2 weeks time). But how can I leave her? I live 150 miles away and have a family I can't be away from for too long.
