Dear Mother, Need not worry, Like any disease, mental health issues are also treatable albeit, it may take some time.Have patience. The mental illnesses are largely due to faulty interactions of the individual and the environmental factors such as society whose members are parents, relatives , friends and the responses of the individual to any situations.As a result of these interactions there might be certain unresolved emotional issues which affect the secretion of the chemicals in the brain and vice versa. A hereditary element which gets triggered with the social interactions can also be a cause of the mental health problem. Just like the digestive enzymes in the stomach, we have some chemicals in the brain as well. These chemicals enable a person to deal with situations in hand. For example, you felt happy when your daughter scored a good result in her academics and now you are sad when you see her suffering. Both these happiness and sadness and other related emotions like anger and disgust etc are regulated by the chemicals in the brain. The medications prescribed by the Psychiatrist will work wonders when collaborated with the services of a Qualified Psychologist who can facilitate the resolution of the emotional issues as stated earlier through patient listening, interpreting and rendering therapeutic techniques for a behaviour and lifestyle modification.An unconditional support in all respects from persons significant in her life is the need of the hour now. Happy days ahead for you and family ! Dr Rajesh Thottingal Kalam Rehabilitation Psychologist from india
