My father in law is 75 years old politician recently went through bypass surgery. Now and earlier also not sleeping well, and anxiety and stress and fear. But he is not accepting to come to doctor or psychologist or psychiatrist. What is your advice on how to bring him to you? Shall I also register as patient and bring him with me saying for me first? Any other idea sir please need help.

Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I do not think it is a good to take him to a psychologist or psychiatrist. He could be facing the trauma of bypass surgery. This stress will be there for some days and will vanish automatically. For the time being online or telephone counseling sessions can be given for respite. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
