My Grandmother Recently Had a Stroke and I Have Some Questions Regarding Recovery.?

Question by missapparition: My Grandmother recently had a stroke and I have some questions regarding recovery.?
My Grandmother is 81 years old and had a stroke a little over a month ago. It was a large stroke that mostly effected her speech and her memory. She spent about 3 weeks in the hospital and has been at home for a couple of weeks now with my grandfather. She is currently having speech therapy and physical therapy. She is doing very well with her physical therapy, but I am very worried about her mental health. She is very depressed, cries often and just generally seems very unhappy. I try to spend at least a couple hours a day with her, but as time goes by and she doesn’t seem to be getting any “happier”, it is difficult to know what to do. Her doctor put her on Prozac and I realize that isn’t a magic cure, but we had hoped it would do more for her. Is there anything that anyone can suggest to help in her recovery in terms of mental health?
She is currently getting speech therapy and physical therapy, but it’s her mental health that I am worried about. She is very unhappy and it seems like she is completely depressed all the time. I don’t want her to “give up” on life and her recovery, that is why I am looking for some ideas or suggestions as to help her in that area.
She has been on the Prozac for about two weeks now, and I just don’t see alot of improvement. We realize that the Prozac isn’t a magical cure for her depression, that is why I was looking for some other alternatives to help her.

Thank you all for the support and the suggestions thus far, I really appreciate it.

Dish the prozac in the trash can and get her some B12 to melt under tongue.
Get her some blueberries, apples and healing foods.

She will need therapy. Physical, vocal, and speech therapy to help with rehabilitation.

She needs to be retrained, and rethought, while the brain salvages what still functions and helps her regain control of herself, at least a little.
