Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I want only a Psychiatrist to answer my question PLEASE.My sister was in dippression some few months we showed her to a well known Psychiatrist in Bangalore.They are actually from Hyderabad,she has shown good signs of recovery when she was in bangalore and under that medication.The situation went bad when she went back to Hyderabad her behaviour changed completely this was in span of 2 days only,she bents her neck and walks when my mother asked why are you walking like that she said cant you someone is pulling my head.This was her reply,and she keeps her eyes wide open without flattering even for once and looks at ceiling cries for long time.She is not eating properly and sleeping please suggest us we are really worried about her.
I can understand your concern for your sister. From what you have mentioned, your sister is having depressive symptoms. In addition, the episode that you have mentioned regarding her bending her neck and feeling that someone is pulling it can be a dissociative episode. It is highly likely that your sister is preoccupied about something or under some kind of stress.
I am not sure if you are still continuing with the medications. I would suggest that you consult a local psychiatrist fro her as she would need regular follow ups unless you are ready to travel the distance every time. If she is still on treatment, it may be reviewed. If possible, the dose of the anti-depressant can be increased. If further increment is not possible, a change in medication can be instituted.
More importantly, it will be necessary to understand what is going trough her mind. Someone who is close to her and whom she feels comfortable to should try to talk to her. This might take some time but will be important. Your psychiatrist can help in the same to. Regular supportive sessions will be extremely helpful.
I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes for her speedy recovery.
