Why does my MIL have hallucinations after taking osteoporosis medicines?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 75-year-old mother in law suffers from severe osteoporosis. Last year, she started to have motility problems. It got resolved after taking a combination of drugs and physiotherapy. But now, she is having symptoms of irritability, crying without any reason, feeling dejected, crushing around the people with hallucinations, and not finds peace at any place or with anybody. It appears that she wants to be sad every time and not finds happiness in anything. Kindly suggest a mode of action to solve her problems and to make her life comfortable.
