Anxity/depression

Question

Anxity/depression

Asked for Female, 69 Years

She is suffering from severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The conventional drugs are not giving much relief. Her Rheumatologist suggested biologics for her but asked to get her counselling as she is very depressed due to her physical condition. Also has anxiety problem. Apart from RA she is having high blood pressure. She is a Malayalam (from Kerala state) speaking person and I feel a Psychiatrist who speaks Malayalam could counsel her properly even though she understands English. She doesn't talk much in English. We are residing at Thane, near to Mulund West. She is having much trouble to travel otherwise I would have taken her to Kerala for counselling.
