Hi
Hope this helps!  Our whole family went from VIRBRANT HEALTH
to many many many health problems!  One of the things my son had was FLOATERS!  I thought I had CJD etc.  We had moved to a PALATIAL rented home, which was later found to be contaminated with TOXIC STACHYBOTRYS and more!
Nothing could be seen with the naked eye.  It grows in wall cavities of water damaged or poorly constructed homes. Then inhaled by the occupants causing so many health symptoms.
There is a lots of information and ruined lives on MOLD-HELP.ORG (search EYE AND DEPRESSION)  also TUBEROSE.COM (MOLD & FUNGI).

Good luck &
Best wishes

I'm aware that most drugs my mother was being treated with may cause or aggravate glaucoma.

Is there anyone that has suffered the same problem as my mother? And if it did, what was the plan B, i.e, are there any other medications she may take with out risking it's condition.

My intention is to discuss more profoundly about her treatment with her doctor...

not an eye question.  sorry!  see if there is a forum on depression and anxiety...

the short answer is that YES there are many, MANY different theories on how to treat depression and there are also many different regimens and medications she could take.  she needs a second opinion.

depression is exceedingly common in glaucoma patients...
