Suggest Treatment For Depression

My nephew was admitted to a new higher secondary school after passing class X with good marks about 2 months ago. Perhaps he was tortured/ragged by his school friends. Suddenly,he has become violent and talks and behaves like a mad person.We are in Guwahati(Assam). Where and to whom should we take him?

Hi dear.

I had gone through your query.

I had understand your concern

Examinations always lead to some stress and tension.

Behaviour disturbances need to be evaluated in detail.

Violent behaviour does not always indicate depression.

There are other possibilities too.

Mental status examination will give better idea of thought processes and mood.

Consult psychiatrist and get help.

Depression can be treated with medicine like antidepressant.

But proper evaluation is must before taking it.

I hope I have answered your question.

Happy to help you further.

Thank you.
