Question
i would like to know if changing my husbands anti depressant pills and changing the times he gets his anti-psychotic pills make any diffrence to his mood and at what stage do they start wondering about he is only 62yrs old

Answer
Dear Margaret,

I am sorry you are coping with this very difficult situation. Changing the time of day your husband gets his medicines might help his mood. The type of anti-depressant can also make a difference. I recommend talking to your doctor about the specific concerns you have about his mood.

best,
Alanna
