Mother depressed (home visit possible?)
My mother is suffering from depression since 10 years now. She has had a tough life when she lost her parents at young age, then in-laws were very torturous, and my father is supportive but unintentionally he has been constantly dominating my mother because of his self-obsession and superior feeling. My mother has now developed hatred for my father and blames him for his rude ways and everything else. She refuses to step out. Any female doctor in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, please help!

Hi, I am sorry to hear about your mother's problem. Since her symptoms have been present for ten years, she might need a combination of medication and psychotherapy support. You should consult a professional for a proper diagnosis. If your mother is unwilling to seek help, you will have to make efforts to convince her to see one. Make a list of things she likes to do ( for e.g. Cooking, walking). Involve her in these activities and try conversing with her about her feelings and thoughts. Spend time with her reminscing about her happy memories. This might motivate her to seek help. Irrespective, try to be as supportive as you can . Good luck!
