My mother Mrs. Kamla met with an accident in jan 2010 . She had 2 neurosurgery after the accident. Due to injury in her brain there is speech problem and paralysis on half side of the body which resulted in limping in her walking. Though she has recovered physically but somewhere in her sub conscious mind there is deep trauma of this incident which has resulted in depression self Lowe esteem and low confidence. She blame herself for all the situation and she believe that she is not capable of doing anything though she perform her and all household activities nicely. She keeps on repeating that she is worthless and she should not be alive. After the surgery we have consulted many psychiatrist but all in vein as everyone has suggested the medicines . Now she don't want to eat the medicines and we are looking for a doctor which can treat her sub conscious mind and make her believe that she is absolutely fine honestly we want some one who can re program her mind. Plz revert it any solution

She needs to get evaluated. She had injury and twice surgery. What parts of brain got damaged. What working part of brain affected by those surgery and injury needs to be evaluated. On that basis you can be advised to help your patient. The worst part is that here in this country we don't have rehabilitation clinic where a team of neurosurgeon, neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist speech therapist, occupational therapist and physiotherapist work as team. So you can get some symptomatic relief by medicine suggested by neurosurgeon and psychiatrist.

Hello! It sounds like your mother may be experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) coupled with issues related to self-esteem and low confidence. Please note that the above mentioned terms are not an official diagnosis. They are merely a suggestion for you to understand your motherâs situation.
For you to get a confirmed diagnosis and deeper insight into your motherâs condition, you must consult a mental health professional like a psychologist or a psychiatrist. These professionals will not only provide you with a proper diagnosis, but also help you and your mother figure out why she often feels lost and low. If your prior consultations with psychiatrists have not gone well, look for new ones and start by asking them to not prescribe medicines just yet, as she has already been on them, but has not seen any improvement. Help your mother open up and try to understand herself why she feels the way she does. Help her believe that she truly matters and is loved by her near and dear ones. There are a lot of organizations that provide affordable and/or free therapy sessions, with various offers you can avail. Look for ones with practitioners that may suit your preferences and see if that works.
Your mother needs a lot of love and understanding on your part, but she also needs to realize that she is important and cherished not because of her role as a mother or wife, but as a person. Take care of her and yourself and stay safe!
Hi... Did Doctors (Psychiatrist/Neurosurgeon) gave any physiological basis of her present condition? Or is it purely Cognitive? Or mix of both?
I believe in her case, Medication and Therapy/Counselling will go side-by-side.
I suggest Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to address her concerns.
