Hi Quertyyy.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I think you need to meet with the Doctors there and find out what their treatment plan is and share with them your observations. You know your Mom, they do not. Your insights would be very valuable for them to consider to figure out what is going on. There may have been a meds change or she may be refusing meds, or there is some medical problem that is complicating things.

I have been actively reading the posts but not responding but your story is just too compelling to not respond. In any hospital everyone needs an advocate, you can be that advocate for her. If you cannot get to the doctor right away, then make an appointment with her social worker and make your thoughts known. They are there to help you and her. Besides, the whole mental health system is just too complicated to navigate alone.

Best of luck to both you and your Mom.
