Hi Sudhir,

These kinds of feelings in your wife or in any person for that matter are not a good sign.

The drugs need to be reviewed. She needs continuous counselling too by the Psychiatrist. Please fix an appointment with her Psychiatrist at the earliest.

Yet again, she needs frequent sessions. Be supportive and talk to her about her feelings.

Help your wife come out of these.

Take care.

Regards,
