Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to healthcaremagic.

There is lot of stigma regarding psychiatric illnesses and psychiatric medications.
Most of the psychiatric illness occurs due to neurotransmitters disturbance and It is very important to get early treatment of these diseases because if they become chronic it's really very hard to treat.
You did not have mention about any specific history of your sister regarding her illness.
So whether its purely psychiatric or neurologic component or both ,cant say.

For your query I suggest you to go at some polyclinic kind of hospital.there you can take her to psychiatrist.what kind of illness she is suffering of he can judge.then in follow up it may not be necessary to bring her every time. There are certain drugs which can be added in her food without knowledge.There are certain injection formulation which she has to take once a month only.so there are lots of option available.

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