DM has a history of suffering from anxiety and depression. She is now 73. She lives with my dad but he is a proper bully but that’s another story. She also does a lot for her 98 year old mother. All this and the last year has caused her on a downward spiral. Last week I called her GP as she is struggling to sleep or eat. He called her and asked her to attend an appointment. She was very anxious about going but I persuaded her telling her that they would prescribe something to help her. She had a 20 minute appointment and she was very honest. He wants to see her on 2 weeks but has suggested she tries yoga and waking and no meds. She does walk with me most days anyway but I can see that this is not helping. I feel helpless. She is becoming very agitated and I am having to coax her to eat small amounts. Surely the GP should be doing more?
