‘ A patient who wanted to marry at 60’
This happened more than 2 years ago. A patient of mine, around 60 years old, who had lost her husband about a decade ago, and who has had a couple of depressive episodes and one manic episode, booked a follow-up online consultation.
During the call, her son, who appeared very concerned, told me that she was insisting on getting married again, claiming that she had found the right person. I talked to her, and the first thing that came to mind was the possibility that she was having another hypomanic episode. I advised her not to take any steps and to meet me in person at the clinic.
I saw her a week later. She looked nothing like before. She was all dressed up, had coloured her hair, was wearing makeup, and during the interview, was very firm that she wanted to get married to this person and do it quickly. My suspicion of a hypomanic episode became even stronger, although the clinical picture was not very clear. Afraid that she might make a big mistake, I tried to dissuade her from taking any steps. She got a bit agitated and told me that she was sure. I ended the consultation, almost pleading with her not to do anything in haste.
I saw her again after a month. She had gotten married 2 weeks ago and was all dressed up like a newlywed. She looked happy, and I couldn't find any signs of hypomania. But deep inside, I was still quite afraid that things might go downhill and all of this might be the beginning of another episode.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago, I had multiple online consults with her during this period and she remained well throughout, and she finally visited the clinic. She was accompanied by her husband, a 65-year-old gentleman. I asked for some reports, and her husband took out a file; he had neatly arranged all her reports and prescriptions. Her husband looked very caring and was ensuring that she was regular with her meds and tests. He asked me a couple of questions about her treatment and promised me that they will be regular with it. I asked them if they were happy, and they both nodded at the same time and smiled.
Two years ago, she was not in a hypomanic episode, my suspicion was wrong and I am very glad that i was wrong
Things happen. People fall in love, and they know when they are ready, it may happen at 25 and sometimes it also happens at 60.
