hello dear,
based on your short history without any clinical/biochemical data ,its difficult to suggest you any solution.is she having any psychiatric co-morbidity?
suggest you to see a general physician first with all her reports.if he finds anything abnormal in her mentally,you should also consult a psychiatrist side by side.
hope that helps
