A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Something unpleasant: Must have happened to her.She need to be checked by a physician for proper documentation. Or she could have lost a friend, someone dear to her that have impacted her significantly, broke up with a boyfriend, academic or peer issues. Regardless, she needs to be seen by physician and refer for counselling if need be.
