Good morning Dr. David, I have a younger sister who got married 7 years back. has two kids, elder 3.5 yrs old and the second girl 1 month. There is no peace in their married life, my sister is a kind of short tempered, unwilling to accept her fault / forgive others. She is not having any friends from her school days, for her everybody on the planet is bad except her. if we try to correct her she cries, sometimes she bluffs whatever comes out of her mouth, using bad words, hurting someones feelings but when we ask her she will refuse saying she never told that. her husband has become helpless due to my sisters frequent misbehavior with her in-law. there is no communication between them at all. my sister blames them always. Dr. is this is related to any psychological problem? Please guide me, I lost my dad within 1.5 years of my sisters marriage, now my mom is under depression and I do not want to loose her as well. if I talk to my mom anything about this sister my mom also supports her. please advise me.....please.....
His had gone through your query. I understand your concern. Yes dear certain features that have you mentioned suggest psychological problem. It may occur in depression / anxiety disorder or may occur in stress also. Sometime psychotic illness may have such features like decrease communication. But difficult to say with this information. Detail psychological evaluation is necessary to reach proper diagnosis. It is treatable and require psychiatry care. Psychological and social support is must. It can be treated with medicine and psychotherapy. So consult psychiatrist for further assistance. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask. Happy to help you further. Thank you. Take care.
