What kind of stress she has?
Actually not so big problem. But it affected her. She failed to swich to the head office fron branch. as I know
And this happens second time. Last year almost this times She also was ill like this. She passed it but now it last long. I will upload what I can find


If the doctor has ruled out the organic causes then yes it is likely to be psychological in origin. Especially as there was a history of similar symptoms in the past, the chances of this illness to be psychological is much more.
She would require psychotherapies in the form of supportive psychotherapy, relaxation therapy and brief psychodynamic psychotherapy. All these specialized counselling techniques are provided by a clinical psychologist. You should consider meeting a clinical psychologist for the psychotherapy of your sister.
Further low dose of anti-psychotics like risperidon or chlorpromazine can be helpful in certain cases. You may ask your doctor to prescribe you these medications until the psychotherapies are initiated.
Hope this helps,
In case if you have any further query, do let me know.
Kind regards
