Sai Reddy, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher...
Sai Reddy, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher living alone, had become increasingly short-tempered and withdrawn. Her daughter, who called daily, noticed her mother was easily agitated, often complaining of being 'on edge' and snapping during conversations. Sai also reported persistent fatigue, new aches and pains, and a lack of appetite. She insisted it was just 'old age,' but her daughter insisted on a doctor's visit. Her internist, Dr. Mehta, listened carefully to Sai's symptoms, noting that irritability in older adults is often a sign of an underlying issue. Dr. Mehta recommended a detailed evaluation, focusing on a complete metabolic panel, vitamin B12 and D levels, thyroid function, and a screening for depression and anxiety. She emphasized this wasn't about Sai's character but her health. Sai was initially resistant and felt her autonomy was being challenged. The blood draw and personal questions felt invasive. The tests revealed a significant vitamin B12 deficiency and moderate depression. With a course of B12 injections, dietary advice, and gentle counseling, Sai began to feel a shift. Her energy improved, the physical aches lessened, and the constant irritability faded. She re-engaged with her phone calls and even joined a local reading group. Emotionally, she moved from stubborn isolation and frustration to acceptance and a renewed sense of connection, grateful her daughter had persisted.
