paranoia and depression in my grandmother

Posted by Benjamin in RI on July 30, 2001, at 16:54:41

My grandmother has gone through bouts of depression throughout her life.Recently she relapse dramatically. She is taking a thyroid medication but it appears that the dosage levels may be off. She is not very trusting of medication so whatever is used must be well thought out.
She has been very paranoid, asserting that cameras in a local shopping mall had been installed to monitor her and only her. She feels that the hospital hass sent people around after her to monitor her actions. She has been trying to deal with a number of life long traumassuch as her brothers suicide on the day of her sixteenth birthday. Another brother had severe bipolar disorder. Two of her sons are currently on antidepressent therapy.
Any suggestions into treatments, tests, or common stories would be appreciated. If you need more information to give insight please ask. Thank you for you attention.
