Hi,
Old age can make so many thoughts in mind. As a person thinks that, she/he is not useful anymore and why she/he should be alive. She needs psychologist/therapist to help her for these thoughts. I suggest, avoid medicine as side effects of medicine can be harmful for old ages. She needs a psychologist/therapist to help her and evaluate the situation with more details.
Please consult with a psychologist/therapist as soon as possible. And of course she needs your support.
Please take care.
For any person of that age, a medical treatment history is also becomes important when a psychiatrist’s opinion is needed.
It’s difficult to come to a final diagnosis with a little history which is provided.
But still some can be discussed. Considering the age, similar symptoms can appear in elderly patients who are going into Alz Dementia. Because of memory problems, patients go into such symptoms. In addition, psychological problems are quite common in such patients. There can be associated depression.
Some of the medical illnesses like Diabetes, Thyroid or some drugs used in other disorders can make the similar presentation of the illness.
