Q
My mom is 72 and has Alzheimer's. She is on an anti-depressant, but now is crying all the time. Would changing her anti-depressant help, or is there anything else we can do?

Question: Changing antidepressants while having Alzheimer's. Response: Changing her antidepressant could help. There could be several reasons for her crying episodes. I would need more information about other medical conditions and all of her medications (including the type of antidepressant she is taking) in order to provide further information.
