I Am Suffering From Depression, Can This Be Cured ?
This is regarding my younger sister, 23 yrs who seems to suffer from depression.My mom expired 3 yrs back and since then we see our younger sister speaking to herself and making strange gestures.She speaks often to herself amost every 5 minutes and loudly when no ones around.This has gradually increased over time. We have adviced her not to act in such strange way but she continues it. Is this a sign of depression? What treatment is exactly needed ? Can this be cured ? How much time can it take to completely cure her ?
