I am a 22 year old female. My father has schizophrenia. And I'm facing some issues. I've isolated myself. Also in the verge of losing my job. I have suicidal thoughts, but haven't thought of doing anything. I have mood swings. I am normal sometimes but there are times I don't even want to talk or eat or do anything. Most of time I keep day dreaming and lose hold of reality. I don't think about my future or any responsibilities. I stay in my room for almost the whole day. I'm staying at my parent's, but still I don't feel like talking to them. I tried to check if I carry my father's illness. But I don't have any hallucinations or delusions. I've had depression for like 4 months continuously but later I had depression with gaps. Can you help me analyse what is this?

You need to be extremely careful with a genetic endowment for mental illness. It is possible for you to get other psychotic conditions too. YOu must never stay in stress for too long: it can precipitate any predisposition easily. Ideally, you must go out and socialize but you need to begin at home. You could do with some counseling help too. Do regular exercise, sleep well, eat healthily and above all get some education about emotions and remain balanced emotionally always. Equip yourself with healthy techniques and skills to be fit always. Keep the counseling going for a long time until you feel confident that you can handle all kinds of contingencies.
