Patient's question:
My mom is 52 this year, and she has a very fiery temper. She often yells at people over the phone. She has high blood pressure and heart disease, and I'm afraid to make her angry. She starts arguing and insulting the moment there's a disagreement, regardless of time or place. Her temper flares up whenever it feels like it, and being around her makes me unhappy every day. When I communicate with her, she gets even angrier. The whole family is afraid of her. However, she has to help me take care of our baby, who is still breastfeeding. I can't help but be with her all day, every moment, which is quite painful. Do I have access to a psychologist? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Women aged 45-55 are in a menopausal state. Due to endocrine disorders and imbalances, their personality and temperament are changing. Suggestion: Help her relax and stay calm, engage in more outdoor activities, maintain a regular sleep schedule, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. She can also take traditional Chinese medicine like Kunbao pills to nourish her body. It is best to seek offline psychological counseling to help her vent her emotions and make changes to her worldview.
