Dear Sir, My wife age 47 years had been working on the sales counter for 27 years she is very finnicky on time and things and gets hassled up very easily. She of late has been unable to sleep even though she is taking Restyl 0.5mg as prescribed and she is over thinking in the negative aspects of quitting job early than required and also not been able to bear a child. These thoughts keep hounding her and is unable to lead a normal routine. to change her mind to positive thinking have taken her on vacation three times since she has resigned. Also has become lethargic after her resignation in household chores. Kindly suggest if she needs specialized consultation or any other remedy as such?

Thanks Madam. Your diagnosis is absolutely correct. But the challenge is with following the prescriptions, which requires lots of patience. I tried to convince my wife several times to join some school or any other organization, where she can get mentally engaged. Earning money is not a priority. But, she never agreed. In fact, she gets infuriated with any of my suggestions. She keeps blaming me for not being a working woman. In absence of all social/ family support system, it is frustrating when I don't find any progress since last 10 years or so.

My wife is extremely sensitive to even smallest of criticism either received directly or indirectly. She gets panic attacks and suffers from the situation for about 10 days. She is unable to leave any of the not so good/bad memories and thus keeps thinking of them all over time. She feels and talks hopeless and useless during this period, which also includes getting separated and ending her life. We have 2 childs of 14 and 9 years. She does not talks to anyone when her mood is off. I have been keeping extreme patience during all the time and always tried to console her and explain her that we also have good memories to remember. But seems she doesn't understands these things. We also consulted one psychiatrist, who gave her Ketamine treatment. She was fine for sometime only but after some time she said that she will not go to any doctor now, and let the situation prevail as it is until she is living. I am totally shattered and perplexed on this situation and could not focus on my job and any other thing in life. What to do, pl advise. I am not able to see her in this situation which is not so bad according to most of the people, but she is filled with so much of hate and negativity that she is not able to understand the things and value them.

My wife aged 53years seems to be forgetful..besides she is withdrawn and prefers not to be socially active. One doctor says she is depressed while another says she is showing signs of schizophrenia...however she is quite normal in her day to day activities. Pleas advice.
