I am becoming mentally disturbed
Hello Doctor,
I have been going through a very difficult emotional and mental phase for the past two years. Both of my parents passed away, and after their death, serious property disputes started within the family. My elder brother transferred the entire property to his name and even stopped me from entering my parental home. Legal proceedings regarding this matter are currently ongoing, but all of these events have deeply affected my mental health.
I constantly think about my mother and the situation at home. The same thoughts keep running in my mind all day, and I am unable to focus on anything. Although I am spiritually connected, I no longer feel interested in पूजा, talking to people, going outside, or doing any daily activities.
My husband is also not able to understand my emotional condition properly. At times, his behavior and hurtful comments make me feel even more mentally disturbed. I am not receiving much emotional support from my in-laws either. I also have a son to tak

Hi,
I see that several events followed by the death of your parents(which in itself can be painful and heavy experience to move through) and the property disputes have weighed heavily on you. It's possible that when people incur multiple wounds one after the other in a short time, especially with very little to no support it can take its toll eventually.
The symptoms you mentioned here are commonly associated with depression. I can understand if at the moment things feel overwhelming. It could be beneficial to explore therapy which can help you develop healthy coping skills, direction and sense of control in your life.
Next Steps
You can consult with me if you are willing to work towards your wellbeing

Hi, thank you for sharing your concerns. Losing both parents and facing ongoing family disputes at the same time can be emotionally overwhelming. It is understandable that the grief, property-related stress, lack of emotional support, and ongoing conflicts are affecting your thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning.
The constant thoughts about your mother and family situation may be contributing to stress, loneliness, and difficulty concentrating. Try to engage in at least one meaningful activity each day, maintain a routine, and express your thoughts and feelings through journaling or by talking to a trusted person. You do not have to carry this burden alone.
It may also be helpful to consult a counselling psychologist or family therapist who can support you in processing your grief, managing emotional distress, and developing healthy coping strategies.
Warm regards,

Hi
Thanks for reaching out you have been carrying multiple losses and battles at the same time grieving the death of both parents, facing an ongoing property dispute, feeling disconnected from your family home, and not receiving the emotional support you need from those around you. Anyone going through so much would find it difficult to focus, enjoy life, or feel emotionally at peace.
What stands out is that your mind seems stuck in a loop of grief, hurt, and injustice. When painful thoughts keep replaying all day, people often withdraw from social activities, lose interest in things they once enjoyed, and start feeling emotionally exhausted. Therapy can help you process the loss of your parents, work through the anger and hurt related to the family conflict, and gradually rebuild a life that is not completely controlled by these thoughts. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five

Hello,
You have been carrying multiple losses and stresses at the same time—the grief of losing both parents, ongoing property disputes, family conflict, and feeling unsupported by people close to you. Anyone facing so much for such a long period would feel emotionally exhausted. The constant thoughts about your mother and the situation, loss of interest in activities, difficulty focusing, and withdrawing from others suggest that your emotional health has been significantly affected and deserves attention and care.
Next Steps
Please be kind to yourself during this difficult phase and try not to handle everything alone. Speaking with a mental health professional can help you process your grief, manage the ongoing stress, and regain some emotional balance. If you would like professional support, you may consult me for counselling. Together, we can work on coping with the loss, reducing the emotional burden of the family situation, and helping you reconnect with daily life in a healthier way.

I am sorry you are going through such a painful phase. Losing parents, family conflicts, legal stress, and lack of emotional support can deeply affect mental health. The overthinking, loss of interest in daily activities, social withdrawal, and emotional heaviness you described may be signs of prolonged stress, grief, anxiety, or depression.
Please do not go through this alone. With proper emotional support and therapy, these feelings can gradually improve. Try to take small steps toward self-care, maintain a routine, and share your feelings with someone you trust. Professional counselling can help you process your grief and regain emotional balance.
You can also reach out to me, Sahina Imdad, for psychological support and guidance.
