How to treat depression caused by losing son to death?
human
I have a cousin sister staying at Kalyan who is terribly depressed after she lost her son who was about 22yrs. when he passed away end of Nov.2010.She is still waking up at 2 a.m in the night and crying after she thinks of her lost son.  What is the solution to bring some calm in her doctor? Please help.

Hi,I appreciate your concern for your sister. From what you have mentioned, your sister still seems to be in the state of bereavement and as a result manifesting symptoms of depression.I would suggest that you should seek a psychiatric consultation for her. Treatment with anti-depressants like escitalopram will help her feel better and reduce her sadness. In addition, supportive therapy sessions will help her express out her emotions which will help her relax.I do hope that you found the answer helpful. Best wishes.
