Re: sudden psychosis 64 year old male

Jackball,

Is or was your Dad on any other meds for HPB or statins for cholesterol? Just curious to see if there's any connection.

Glad he's getting better. There's nothing more frightening than mental health issues. We feel so helpless.

Re: sudden psychosis 64 year old male

Jack,

Glad to hear that your dad is home and doing better. Is his family doc the only one monitoring his psych meds? The only reason I ask is that it's normally better to have a pdoc (psychiatrist) monitor those meds if you have one near your fathers home that he could go to.

I thought some more about possibilities that brought this on, is it possible do you think that you dad might have suffered some trauma or been involved in something before he married your mom and started his family...something that none of you would know about per so, but might be eating at him all these years. Once again just a thought.

I really am glad that he's home and doing better, I hope it lasts and he's able to settle back into his normal routine life.

Keeping you and your family in my prayers,

Kat
