Dear
Welcome to HCM

I went through your details. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were your sister severely disappointed in the near past before 1.5 years.?

The second part is treatment. If your sister is depressed, proper diagnosis is needed. For which more info is needed. After diagnosis, we decide, whether medicine or psychotherapy based treatment. Then advise accordingly. Please let me know all those details.

Good luck.
