Consult psychotherapist

I can feel the depth of your love, pain, and helplessness in every word—and it’s clear how much you care for your mother. What she’s going through is distressing to witness, especially when it’s unpredictable and tied to emotional outbursts, crying, or extreme behaviors like overeating and talking about death. You’re doing your best to protect her, but this situation is emotionally overwhelming, especially when cultural or spiritual explanations are offered and you’re left confused between medical and non-medical interpretations. You’re not alone in this. The truth is, these symptoms—emotional dysregulation, crying spells, disorganized behavior, and even intense eating—can be part of a deeper mood or psychotic disorder, even if she’s “fine” most days. The worsening near amavasya and pournami might reflect a biological cycle or circadian vulnerability, and not necessarily anything demonic. However, since she’s already under psychiatric care, it’s important that you share these exact symptoms and patterns with her psychiatrist—especially the suicidal thoughts and behavioral shifts. There might be a need to adjust her medication or review her diagnosis, possibly for bipolar disorder or a schizoaffective condition. You are not doing anything wrong. And no, she is not possessed. She is unwell, and she needs compassionate medical care and family support—which you’re already giving her. Stay with her, listen gently, and document her episodes so her doctor gets a full picture. And you, too, deserve support during this—please consider therapy for yourself as well, because caregiving in such cases takes a toll on your own heart. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi

First, I want to acknowledge your deep love for your mother. It’s very natural to feel scared and helpless when we see our loved ones suffering. You are already doing a brave and responsible thing by seeking help. Please know that you are not alone in this, and what you are describing sounds more medical and emotional rather than anything demonic or spiritual.

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with your concern. As per the symptoms you have describe you should definitely consult psychologist and psychiatrist immediately. Tailored strategies to your specific needs with professional psychologist will help you.

Hi, Consult a psychiatrist

It seems to be depressive psychosis. It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated. It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively but you need an expert. It needs to be treated in a holistic approach for complete recovery. You need an expert Psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.

I understand how distressing it must be for you to witness your mother’s suffering. While some behaviours may appear unusual or may be interpreted spiritually by others, it’s important to approach this compassionately through a clinical mental-health lens first. Since your mother has a past history of depression and is still on medication, these episodes — especially during specific times (like amavasya and pournami) — could be related to underlying psychiatric or neuropsychiatric conditions. It’s essential not to ignore these signs and avoid attributing them solely to supernatural causes without a proper clinical assessment.

You need to connect with a psychiatrist.

Would suggest you to consult a psychological Counselor for your Mom.. If needed for any further tests or medications the psychologists generally suggest so for her..

Hi, It's understandable that you're concerned and overwhelmed by your mother's behavior. Her symptoms, particularly the increased food cravings, erratic emotional outbursts, and statements about wanting to die, especially around specific lunar cycles, warrant professional medical attention. While spiritual or demonic explanations might seem plausible, they are not helpful in a practical sense. It's crucial to rule out any worsening of her depression or possible side effects of her medication. The increased food cravings could be related to her depression, medication interactions, or a physical health issue. The intense emotional distress and suicidal ideation are extremely serious and should not be dismissed. Please encourage your mother to see psychiatrist *immediately*. Explain your concerns about the worsening of her depression or medication side effects, the unusual emotional outbursts, and the increased food cravings. A medical evaluation is crucial to rule out any underlying medical conditions or if adjustments to her medication regimen are necessary. If her mental health professional suggests it, explore therapies like counseling or support groups that could help her manage these episodes. It's vital to have a plan in place for these situations, including strategies to ensure her safety and yours, and to support her through these emotional peaks. You are not alone; seek support for yourself from family, friends, or support groups for caregivers of people with mental illness. Your love and concern are essential, but professional help is paramount.

Hi.... Please consult a Psychiatrist immediately, it appears to be a psychotic episode. There is no clear explanation of such things anywhere. But in Psychology and Psychiatry, it is defined under psychotic disorders. The treatment is also effective. The condition becomes manageable post treatment and recovery also occurs in most cases. It is called manageable because the recovery is not 100% is some cases. But most people recover to an extent where they are able to lead a family life and pursue a profession. Please do not get distracted by various opinions around you and seek medical diagnosis and treatment. I know some good Psychiatrists in Bangalore and I can share contact.
