She needs antipsychotic drugs
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.
I think, she is in psychosis. " Your parents are using some special powers and try to destroying her life. Either she will go to mental hospital or me or our child will forget her or anyone die" that is towards delusion of persecution. That could be part of depression or psychosis, but in both cases, she needs antipsychotic drugs. If she is not willing to take drugs, you can discuss her case with a psychiatrist and give her drugs in food or think about long acting antipsychotic injection. With medications, she would improve in few days, rest depends upon the severity of illness.
In case, you need further help, you can ask.
