1) As others have said, SSRIs
are frequently prescribed by
primary care docs.
2) I, too, am surprised the letter
writer has not done more than
write to an advice columnist
(even a top notch columnist like
you, Cary.)
3) Is there any possibility that
mom is suffering from early Alzheimers?
4) Coming off of an SSRI sucks.
Try suffering with electronic
"head zaps." Those alone might
be making mom crazy.
Good luck - tough situation.
