Hello, my mom is suffering from depression. She is not in her senses any more. She doesn't even pay attention when someone is talking. She doesn't sleep at night or at day times like she only gets hardly 2 hour sleep a day. She reacts very angrily and negatively every time. When we try to give her medicine she says that she is ok she don't need medicine which is prescribed by psychiatrist. She wants outside at night closes and opens door as if someone is there. Sometimes she complains her whole body is burning. We as a family are not understand what to do. She thinks we are harming her. Please help me with this. Thank you.

You should consult a Clinical Psychologist who would counsel your mother and motivate her to take the medication prescribed by the psychiatrist. Parallel to motivating her to take medicine the clinical psychologist will also work on her depression. Combination of medication and therapy works best in Depression.
