Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.She definately needs help. The illness is called acute stress reaction and if not attended to properly may lead to post traumatic stress disorder which may persist for long. She definitely needs some psychotherapy and some mild benzodiazepines to make her calm. You need to take her to a psychologist/ psychiatrist.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
