Depression
Sir,
my sister is suffering from depression and learning disability due to family problems and health. She talks about suicide on a daily basis and she has temper issues. she is reluctant to seek help so, I would like to explain the problem in detail before meeting you personally before our appointment on 14th august.
I would be grateful if you could suggest a medium of communication for the same.
