Girlfriend Has Suicidal Tendency. Deppresed. How Can I Help Talk Her Out Of This?

I have girlfriend who often has mood swings. She has suicidal tendency.Today she came to know I had told a lie. She is depressed and wants to commit suicide.I tried to talk out of it but its not working out. I can't tell this to her parents also as they do not know about the affair and I want to keep it so. What is the best solution for this? This has happened before too but I had talked her out of it!

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello young man,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I can understand your situation.
From your narration I can say she has depression or personality disorder.

The best way to tackle this problem is take her to consult a psychiatrist.

If she is not ready for that try to get the reason for her stress and see if there is solution.

Another option: ask any friend of her or close relative who can convince her to consult psychiatrist without informing her parents.

If at all her tendency for suicide is more, please inform her parents without hesitation as ultimately her life matters than your relationship.So they can take her to psychiatrist for treatment even if needed forcefully.

All the best and wish she will come out of this and your relationship can go ahead smoothly.

Hope I have answered your query,
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
