Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Does your sister: Have clinical depression? Is she under the care of a behavioral health provider? If yes, ask your parents/ sister about being included in a family session. What effects one family member often effects the other members of the family. Take care.
