My sister is 26 and lives in India. Over the past 3 years, after our mother passed away in an accident (she directly saw the body), her behavior has changed.
She manages daily activities (gym, coffee shops, online shopping, handling money) but is socially withdrawn, has no friends, and spends most of her time alone.
She has developed suspicious thoughts, especially about our cook. She says clothes kept in the balcony will get spoiled if the cook looks at them and believes the cook should only cook and not see her belongings. She also repeatedly tells us not to share our address or personal information.
She sometimes zones out and her conversations are hard to follow. She gets irritated if we suggest seeing a therapist or psychiatrist.
No prior psychiatric treatment. She lives with our father; I live in the USA. Please advise how to help her, especially since she resists treatment.
I am fully stress because of work pressure and family issues. I need break from my work and should I get medical certificate for stress

Hello Doctor,
I have been taking Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg for the last 1 month for premature ejaculation, general anxiety, and mild depression. Earlier I was using Proxy CR 12.5 by Wilwin Laboratories, which was working well for me.
Since that brand was not available, I switched to Paxidep CR 12.5 by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries about 4–5 days ago. After switching, I feel it is slightly less effective and I am experiencing more anxiety than before.
I am also having daytime drowsiness that interferes with my daily routine, and regular stomach disturbance with loose stools.
Is it okay to switch between these brands since both contain Paroxetine CR 12.5 mg? Do different brands sometimes feel less effective? Should I continue this brand for some time or try to find the previous one?
Thank you.
