My uncle takes medication this mood disorder. He's 65 years old. Recently some events have happened and I think it is affecting his mood. My aunt which is his sister is in hospice care, she is terminal and dying. We took him to visit her last weekend and she was in bad shape but was still talking. My uncle actually started to cry and I have never seen him cry the entire time I've known him. Since then he's been very talkative, sometimes just randomly blurting out stuff while he's watching TV. He also wants to go to the store and is talking about buying stuff that he cannot possibly use. I give him his medications everyday and as far as I know he has been taking them. I don't physically watch him take them but I give them to him with his food everyday. I'm worried that he's either not been taking his meds or this event with my aunt is causing him to have symptoms of mental illness. His talkative nature and the fact that he wants to buy stuff that he could never use is usually what has happened when he stopped taking his medication in the past. I'm worried that my aunt passing away is going to cause him to have some kind of mental health episode and I'm not sure what to do? My dad is currently with my aunt and will be with her until she passes, if my uncle has an episode that will be the worst possible scenario. Is there anything I can do besides making sure he's taking his medication to help him deal with the loss of his sister and my aunt.
