Sedatives, Mood-Altering Drugs Related to Falls Among Elderly: UBC Study
Nothing can replace physical work ,open air, sea and sky for curing depression and insomnia.Any drug,whether habit forming or not,barbiturate based or not, will cause only serious side effects.One may note people above fifty normally fall in the bath room and in most cases it is the onset of further disorders coming to the fore.Safe it is for the elderly not to lock the bathroom/toilet from inside and keep people informed in advance that the room is engaged.It is the safest prevention from calamity.I have known at least two cases of people around 50,in robust health, having had a fatal heart attack while they were in the bathroom.
