Hi Guys
I need some serious medical opinion about my mom. Before that let me provide some background about my mom.
She is going to be 69 years old in 2017.
In 2015, she was admitted to ICU for 10 days diagnosed with sepsis caused by e-coli infection. In order to treat her both e-coli infection and sepsis, the doctor had to sedate her completely where she was tubed and breath with the help from the machine. She was given few course of very strong anti-biotic and also alot of strong drugs to sedate her. She also spent another 10 days in the normal ward for recovery.
She was discharged and recovered now. However, i do noticed some changes in her. My mom used to be very active where she will go out to meet friends and do some shopping, but she don't like to go out now, she doesn't want to meet her friends that often and claiming it is boring. She is moody all the time and I asked her many many time why is she boring and moody, she said she don't know. Even going out with me or eating anything also seems to be boring. She is quite negative and seems nothing can interest her... luckily she is still working a little now to keep her busy.
I feel very stressful taking care of her as everyday and I will need to find topics to talk to her and also do my best to make her feel happy, but it doesn't help much. I started to think maybe my mom lack of some sorts of hormone or nutrients resulting moody and etc... or maybe she is having some depression and etc.... i really have no idea... i tried to convince her to meet doctor, but she don't want to...
Is there anyone here can help to provide some medical opinion?
Thank you very much guys...

t/s,
Your mother has depression most likely, which is rather common in the elderly. You didn't mention anything about your father, and I suppose he is no more around. Loneliness especially when kids have left the house causes depression in the elderly. It is best that you see a GP first who can then refer your mother to a psychiatrist who can treat the depression. Not going for some random EEG and psychotherapy which can be only suggested by neurologists/psychiatrists!
