Dear lybrate-user, It is nice of you to help your sister and her children. Does she have children already or she will be planning a child now? Let her pregnancy be planned. Let her reduce and stop allopathy medicines after she gets out of depression. That will help the possibility of drug induced problems in future child. Please talk to your sister and brother-in-law about it. Or let them talk to the psychiatrist about it. If she has a bipolar or recurrent depression, it runs in families. With her 100 kg weight and second episode, it looks bipolar. Discuss with the doctor. I hope your brother-in-law is not your blood relative, like cousin. His blood relatives, if not having any depression or suicide, it is less likely for children to get mental illness.
