Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum

Cases for only swelling is not referred to psychiatrist. There may be other issues too, affecting her condition. Many time these cases are difficult to solve.

In person history, mental status examination and general physical examination are needed to diagnose
and treat such cases. Many time treatment with psychotropic medicines take 4-6 weeks to show response, so if treatment is started recently, then wait for some time to see response.

Wish you Good Health and all the best.
