Talk to Psychiatry on Emotional Numbness
Asking for Other, Female, 16 years old, Lahore
Hi i want to ask about my very close relative she has emotional numbness but she is not accepting it and she is keep saying that she has nothing even though i told her all the symptoms like she has very less sad emotions she sometimes feel happy with friends but has no sad emotions even she has no feeling if anything sad happened to her which could be very depressing for her in past. she hates to talk about her health she hates explaining things she doesn't like to talk to anyone unless it's important she doesn't want to start any conversation with anyone she does feel some emotions of happiness but not sadness. The worst thing is she is not ready to accept that she has this condition she thinks she is all right but when I forced her she said if there really is a problem then I just don't even care I am alright with it.Please suggest me what should i do and how to treat this situation She had been under great stress for like 14 days and after that she has no such feelings for anyone

She needs to speak to professionals herself .
She needs insight oriented therapy to educate her about her problem. Then she might need medication too for some time to deal with the symptoms.

is it a big problem or can it leads to depression? or can it go away on its own?

Hi , I appreciate your care and concern for her . She is very young and we need to know the details of any current trauma or grief she has been going through. When people experience grief or trauma, they need time to process the painful emotions. The sad factor is you can’t force someone to go for treatment rather gently encourage her that she needs help. She is fine , it’s not the matter of having a problem or not , it’s about giving her the best possible care of herself to get it fully back where she is able to experience feelings and emotions in a healthy manner. Let her get out of her own shell talk to her , if she will trust you, she will listen you and you can motivate her to seek therapy. She needs talk therapy only when she is fully ready and understand its significance. Good Luck
