My wife has mental disorder, that make her slow down and she has a hard time speaking and anwsering question.?

Question:

Her hands sake and her eyes fluter, it happens about twice a month, I see a doctor and he put her on Zonisamide for a seizure.
But its not helping her. What can I do? I feel upset that I can't help her. We been married for 43 years and it makes a man helpless.

Answers:
You are helping her, because you are there for her, you love her, and you can help take some of the day to day pressures off of her, make her feel less stressed. I suggest that she see another doctor for extensive testing, begin to see a therapist/psychologist, and possibly consult them about anxiety medication. Also, setting up a nice hot bubble bath, with some candles and soft music, and a thurough massage once in awhile would also be a plus.

My thoughts are with you, good luck.

Other Answers:
try a different doctor

just be there for her 43 years thats wonderful keep taking to the doc but the only thing is dont feel helpless just being by her side through everything is so much more. Your not George Bush are you?

Let the Dr. know it isn't working! Maybe he can try something else. Did they run any tests? They should do that to eliminate other things. If the Dr. doesn't seem concerned, go to another one!

my uncle has a mental disorder and the best thing for you to do is just pray about it and you should feel good because you know that you still love her and your not giving up on her my whole family gave up on my uncle

You must not take this illness of your wifes out on yourself.
You care enough to ask & you'll get unhelpful answers on here from people who'll be rude.

It does sound like the pills are not helping & returning to see a doc same one or a different one. Explain all your problems & be honest that you want the best for your wife.
Fingers X'd for you hope returning to see a doc helps. Definitely try other doctors if this one can't do any better.
