Sudden screaming

2018-01-31 14:14:37
My aunt is 55 years old, she has been completely normal in her whole life. A couple of days before she suddenly started screaming for no reason. She couldn't control it. She screamed for few minutes and after that she started rubbing and clapping her hands. It happened three times this week. Is she suffering from any depression disorder??
