Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi Vani,
Thanks for choosing Healthcaremagic.

I have read your query carefully and i would like to advice you strongly to 'take your niece to a psychiatrist as soon as possible'.

What I can understand from the information given by you that your niece is having symptoms strongly suggestive of 'Severe depressive episode with psychotic symptoms'. A further detailed assessment is needed to clarify. But immediate intervention by a psychiatrist is must.
Also regarding hypnotism, it is helpful in some other conditions and that too not helpful in every individual. In this case there is no role for it.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if you need any further information.
Regards
DR. ASHUTOSH SINGH
