Desperate!! Blood clot cerebral-adrenal problems

I am posting on behalf of my 48 year old stepmother. She has been on anti-depressants for over a year and they cant seem to get her meds right, mood swings etc. Her situation has been worse for about the last 2 months. Constantly tired, then periods of no sleep at all. On June 13th she was at home (Thank god my dad was too!) & she passed out. She hit her head on a ceramic tile floor. At the time while we were all in the Er we all just thought she passed out, she barely eats & had not been feeling well & we thought It was just a head laceration. They sent her for a Cat scan and they found a bleed in her brain, we have since found out it was a stroke. As far as we can see there are no permanent effects she still has command of her normal functions. Since this incident her blood work is fine normal thyroid, hormones, kidney etc. They lasting problem is a sodium deficiency so now the doctors are saying it could be adrenal. We have no idea what this means especially with her background, someone please help. We all love her very much and desperately need ANY advice. I would greatly appreciate any and all help.
