Hi all,

The case is like this and we don't know what to do.

My aunt used to be very outgoing, talkative, active person. Her age is 65. Then suddenly  sometime end of last year, she start become very negative. Before that happen, her sister (which she is not very close to) passed away and her sister in law said some hurtful words to her. Im not sure if these events are related but somehow she kind of blame it on the events. We don't think the eventis so much impact to change her or is it just an excuse or reason for herself to put something to blame on.

Since then, my uncle said she will start crying every morning and she is kind of no mood to do anything at all, like lifeless.

Is this sign of mental depression or something else? Cos we couldn't figure out how this could happen. The events doesn't seem impactful to cos such a drastic change.

There are many things that could trigger this. It could be due to suppressed feelings, pressure, or even the possibility of hitting menopause. Hormone changes during that phase of menopausal thus it's crucial for people around to be tolerant, supportive and understanding if that's the cause.

I'll suggest checking with a doctor to determine it's due to menopause (did she stop menstruating?) and learn more how to cope with this.

However if it's not menopause then someone should try talking to her and care more for her. Communicate more with her and bring her out more often, do the things she likes with her.

If all else fails, you may want to bring her to a psychologist and see if it's really related to psychological issues.
