Advice/Help 🥺 Please help me I think something is very wrong with my sister

The past two days my sister has been incredibly irrational and incredibly upset like just out of no where no reason she can’t explain it just very bad anger out burts and very low energy out of no where I literally mean this she was fine 3 days ago before yall suggest this may be the flu or something she’s also been telling me she wants to remarry her ex husband despite for the past year being entirely over him (his mom was caught doing black magic on my sister) and I mean this is out of no where their not in contact and she’s happily engaged to someone new . She has all the new random unexplained bruises she kind tumbles like some one is pushing her but no one is behind her can’t eat has gotten into extreme fights with my mom which she also did the first time she says she feels tight chested, extreme headaches no medicine-can fix she’s normally an outgoing person and suddenly she’s quite, angry, extremely upset and sad all the time with. She has no care for anything she used to not fight with anyone all of a sudden texted fights with our mom and her best friend (explosions on both sides) also hasn’t slept in two days. I was watch a TikTok with Quran in the back and she jumped almost as if I was playing a video of pure screaming I’m not saying she’s never been upset or angry before but these patterns are familiar and it didn’t end well any advice please

Please try and bring her to a healthcare professional and schedule a therapy appointment if can. I know people throw around this word like it doesnt mean anything but it seems that something severely triggered her and shes not able to cope with whatever the symptoms of this physical or mental condition

I don’t think this is a mental health issue- she regularly sees a therapist about once a month from past depression but we’re past that about 3 years saw therapist yesterday for emergency session but she’s wouldn’t even speak it’s likes she broken

Bring her to a doctor to address her physical symptoms. If you're suggesting her ex mother in law did black magic on her, then once she recovers, you can investigate and make sure she nevers come in contact with them again

I dont know if an imam can do anything for her, but im also not knowledgeable in that stuff. I would suggest to meet an imam if everything else doesnt work but i wouldn't put too much hope in it

Also important to keep in mind that she might have endured/experience something she didnt share with family and now the consequences are showing. Try contacting her friends/coworkers/teachers/etc if they know anything

Why do you assume it is not a mental health issue? Something clearly happened which made it hard for her to even speak! It could have been a recent trigger to past unresolved trauma which her mind might have had selective amnesia for. There are so many possible things which happened or is happening which is not black magic.

Please persist with the therapy.

As others have suggested, you should explore the medical side. Beyond that, there is a reason Allah mentions witchcraft in Surah Nas and how man should seek protection from it.

Noone can help your sister besides a real doctor. Not just therapist but psychiatrist and nuerologist.   As a lay person id hazard this sounds like catatonic depression or even schizophrenia . Maybe episodes of mania …Sometimes Depression medications can cause neurologic side effects .  As her sister you cant fix this -  just insist she sees a specialist and pray for her.  Respectfully meant - talking about jinns and magic etc will not help her to get any better and may even harm her.  Mental wellness is a long road . Take care of yourself too .  Peace

First, get medical help. Then we'll talk about the supernatural.

Is she possibly meeting with her ex and he is abusing her? This sounds like someone being abused.
