Paranoid sister in law?!


Question: Paranoid sister in law!?
My sister in law has been in a funk lately and it's been getting us all down!. Just today she starting crying and having panic attacks!. She's very dismissive and won't tell us anything that's wrong We gave her a mg of lorazepam to calm her down and about an hour later, she starts bawling again to her mom!.

Her mom calms her down and manages to get her to say something!. It turns out, she thinks the whole family is plotting to poison her because she feels that we are talking behind her back and our harmless teasing is serious harassment!.

I'm really surpised by her paranoid thoughts and I really, REALLY think she should see a therapist!. Mental issues do run in their family!. In fact, her brother was on anti-depressants when he was her age and their father isn't that stable either!.

She's 17, generally pretty happy, but a little anti-social!. She can be an over-achieving stress case!. She can get some serious bouts of anger where she threatens to do violent things, but never actually acts on them!. And violent as in, gouging someones eyes out or something along that line!.

I really don't know what to do!. Any help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, I think she has some serious problems!. Its sounds more like she has an imbalance!. I don't think asking her whats wrong will solve anything!. Sometimes people can not help themselves!. She needs to see a therapist, or someone in the clergy if she is religious!. She definatley needs to be seen before she really does hurt someone or even herself!. She is crying out and nobody is helping her!. Good luck!. Also, no more harmless teasing!. One more thing!. See if she has started taking drugs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well the only thing I can think of is for you to talk to her maybe you can find out whats wrong!. I know you said you have but take out the house to a place that she loves to go and ask her whats wrong you never know she just might tell you!. hope i helpedWww@Answer-Health@Com
