Weak or Feeble

Can I use the word feeble instead on weak always?

For example:

His father died. He is mentally weak now.

His father died. He is mentally feeble now.

Is the second one correct?

  • His father died.
  • He is mentally weak now.
  • His father died.
  • He is mentally feeble now.
  • Both are correct grammar, but neither seems to make sense.

His father died. He is mentally weak now.

His father died. He is mentally feeble now.

Both are correct grammar, but neither seems to make sense. You need to choose another adjective, eg distressed.

Or you could say it another way, eg He can't think straight right now. eg H is having a mental breakdown right now.
