My unmarried elder sister is suffering of some illusions and always depressed
Dear Doctor, I am from Madurai. My unmarried elder sister aged about 56 yrs. is suffering of some illusions and always depressed. She is highly devoted and complains she had tremendous powers derived from the God and people around her loot her powers. She hates every body and she lost her laugh long back. She in nature a brilliant lady, but now she does not like to speak any body. She stays alone and does not sleep at all. Please guide me with the best guidance to recover her from this trauma. Sincerely, Ravi.R. Mob: 9965068340
Hello........
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern for your sister. The symptoms you describe are referred to as grandiose/ persecutory ideas or delusion. They are characteristic of psychosis or manic (bipolar) disorder. I would suggest you take your sister for a thorough psychiatric evaluation so that appropriate antipsychotic or mood stabiliser can be initiated. Wish her speedy recovery.
Regards

As you told, she needs love and security to overcime her lonliness,that can be provided by a partner or someone who can understand her in a better way and tender love and care for her. You should consider gettting a counseling done for her from a reputed counseller.
