Brief Answer:
antipsychotics can help; meet psychiatrist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your query carefully and from my clinical knowledge I think that your sister has both neurological sequlae and also some behavioral aspect to her illness. Beacuse of her meningitis she developed some aggression and may be some part of other problems but as they were unchecked and family members compromised ( gave in to her demands thinking she is unwell)she developed other things like stubborness..
Many parts of her problems can be solved with medications. You can meet a psychiatrist and discuss the case in detail. Medications like anti psychotics help a lot.
If she has suspiciousness towards others ( close friends and family members) and has difficulty in trusting people- this can also be improved. There are some good and safe antipsychotics available for diabetic patients.
Please dont loose hope. First go for medication, and once she shows some improvement- other behavior changes cannbe started.
No need to fear; face it a sa challenge and Im sure there will be betterment in her condition.
Wish you luck!
Feel free to ask more queries for clarification.
