My 86 year old mom has a constant cracking in the head?

Question

She is also very depressed to the point that she cannot take care of herself. She went through a similiar depression last year at this same time and then came out of it. She is seeing a mental health doctor and on meds but nothing is helping. I'm beginning to wonder if the "cracking" is something physical going on but the doctors seem to laugh her off. Any ideas? I'm at a loss on what to do at this point.

Answer 1

I would recommend taking her back to her primary care physician to have this checked out. If they can't help I would recommend getting her to a geriatric dr (these drs are experienced in treating issues with the elderly) to see what they think is going on with your mom.
