[|Human|] My mother who is 87 and has diabetes had her leg removed in April due to gangrene. She has been in rehab and doing very well and was given a prosthetic leg and is walking with a walker, the problem is that out of the blue she will become confused, hallucinate,and dillousinal. It seems to last for different amounts of times. She was fine on Sunday and today when I spent two hours with her then later this afternoon, she was inconsolable ,confused etc. she is checked for uti every time she gets like this and only had one the first time. She has had cat scan by neurologist which did not show any stroke. She was never DX with dementia or Alzheimer s . Please help we are at our wits end!
[|AI|]  Hello, Please get her electrolytes (Na, K, Cl, Mg) measured, blood sugar, renal function tests. This on and off presentation of psychosis/confusion is more in favor of organicism rather than psychiatric illness. So, we must first rule out any organic and if tests come to be normal, she needs psychiatric help. In psychiatric disorders of similar nature I have seen Chat Doctor. 5-1 mg showing good results. Apart from this one may need something to calm the patient during the episode for which Mizoram 0.5 mg appears to be quite helpful. Please get the tests and start the above meds after taking with your family doctor.Don't worry, she should be fine in few days. Donor leave her alone at home till she gets well. Wish you good health.
