how can i tell if my sister is mentally ill. About 15 years ago she started hating people without cause. She is a loner she lives with her brother and sister yet she doesn t speak to them unless it is necessary. she doesn t have a single friend. When relatives come to their house for a visit she gets angry. She says words of insult to them people stop visiting my brother and my other sister who lives there. I am her sister she hates me no reason I don t even live in the same state as her. When My sons got married 3 yrs ago she started to get angry. she is an old maid . What must I do? the whole family is in a mess because of her behavior. She stopped talking with my two sisters in-law. She has a job . Her personality has totally changed. She cooks for herself and hide the food, she used to cook and share it with her family. I real don t know what to do? She became very jealous of me for getting married and having my children. Is there anyway I can help her? Please help me help us. Thank you, Marta

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. From the available description it appears that your sister is suffering with paranoia sort paranoid disorder. The behavior of her indicates that she is suspicious of other and may be suffering with paranoid personality disorder which is quite close to paranoid psychosis. Although it is never easy to help an individual with paranoia but visiting a psychiatrist along with her can help her to get diagnosed and treated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
