I'm glad to hear your mother has been doing well over the last 1½ years. Based on the symptoms you described, it appears she has had a significant psychiatric illness, and in such conditions, medicines often need to be continued for several years, and sometimes even long-term, to prevent relapse. The decision to reduce or stop medications depends on her exact diagnosis, number of previous episodes, severity, and overall stability, and should only be made gradually under her psychiatrist's supervision. Since she is stable, I would advise continuing the current treatment and discussing the possibility of slow dose reduction during her regular follow-up rather than stopping medicines on your own.
Health Tips
alongside the pharmacological treatment add some non pharmacological measures can help maintain her recovery:
• Maintain a fixed sleep schedule (7–8 hours daily).
• Take medicines regularly without missing doses.
• Encourage light exercise or a 30-minute walk most days.
• Eat a balanced diet and stay well hydrated.
• Maintain a structured daily routine with meaningful activities or hobbies.
• Reduce stress through relaxation techniques, yoga, or deep breathing.
• Ensure regular follow-up with her psychiatrist.
• watch for early warning signs like poor sleep, increased energy, irritability, suspiciousness, excessive talking, or self-talk, and seek medical advice promptly if these appear.
