Hi i have a friend in college who has been a patient of depression in the past. Her medications have been discontinued now. However she had developed strange sovial traits. She has become very extremely self conscious and completely lacks self confidence. She is very weak in studies, to the extent that she os struggling with graduation. Doesnt understand anything explained to her. Asks same questions again and again and again . Is very extremely lazy also. I can clearly see she needs medical aid. But probably not her parents as they r burdening her with studies and shes really facing a blunt behaviour from the society. Please twll me how can i help her psycologically and medically. Please suggest me some doctors or therapies whivh i can convey to her parents . Any sort of help would be highly highly solicited. Thanks

I don't know why they had stopped the medication in the first place. Right now she is displaying all the signs that she is having a relapse and will need to go back to her doctor (physiatrist) and get immediate attention. She will not be able to succeed in her exams in this condition. She should also seek the continuous support of a counselor to learn to cope with other challenges in life. The combination of medicine and therapy will ideally suit her recovery, and more effectively too. Do not delay any more.
