Calling a mood disorder specialist and consulting a board certified psychiatrist would avoid spending resources unnecessarily. In the meantime, avoid all sedatives, caffeinated beverages, and alcohol. Also, make certain your father does not suffer from sleep apnea, which can trigger mood changes. Above all, no cannabis, medical or recreational. READ MORE
