Sister shows signs of mental illness
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
My sister is 18. She
got homesick at col
lege this year and is
definitely depressed.
I think she recently
started antidepressants.
She had a brief rela
tionship there and has
reacted poorly to the
breakup. She has told
the guy, several times, that she’s
going to kill herself. Even saying
it was “in progress,” which hasn’t
been true. She’s told him she’s preg
nant, then says she had an abortion,
then says she’s pregnant again. This
has been going on for a couple of
months.
Clearly she’s seeking his attention
and lying. There’s no chance they
are getting back together; he thinks
she’s absolutely crazy. But he con
tacted me because he’s afraid she
might actually hurt herself.
I’ve asked her about it and her
response is that he’s lying. He sent
me screenshots, so I know he’s
not. Our family walks on eggshells
around her. She has a temper and
lies constantly, so I can’t believe her
at all. She will be home from college
soon. I feel like this all needs to be
addressed, but no one in my family
will do it. What should I do?
— Crazy Sister?
“Crazy,” please, no — “mentally
ill,” quite possibly. A lot of serious
mental illnesses start to present
in people as they transition out of
adolescence and into adulthood.
Therefore it’s not uncommon for
people to show their first serious
symptoms — of depression, bipolar
disorder, BPD (bor
derline personality
disorder), schizophre
nia, among others —
while they’re away at
college. It’s also not
uncommon for the
first pass at treatment
to be inadequate.
As a sibling, you’re
in a tough spot. To
get your sister a full mental health
screening is a parent’s job. But,
your parents might not be aware
they have such a clear responsibil
ity here. Oddly enough, it can be
hard to figure out what to do about
(what seem like) lies and drama and
temper eruptions, yet easy to figure
out what to do about the much more
serious problem of an illness: Call
the doctor. So push for the easy.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask
of a sibling to tell your parents what
you know and lobby them to bring
your sister to her doctor. Ideally
they will also read up on different
illnesses and symptoms at www.
nami.org, and call NAMI’s help
line: 800-950-6264.
Re: The (apparently) mentally-ill
sister:
If there’s convincing evidence —
e.g., her messages to the boyfriend
— that your sister has threatened
to kill herself, that might suffice to
get her involuntarily committed for
observation in a psych ward.
— Anonymous
It warrants a call to the student
dean’s office at school, at least,
which would put an adult on the
case. Thanks.
Re: Sister:
This is almost word-for-word what
happened to my sister when she went
off to college. It was a lot to deal with
for all of us, particularly my parents.
I tried to compensate by being “per
fect,” and ended up with some anxi
ety and a mild eating disorder. All
this is to say that it might not hurt for
you to have someone to talk to about
this that isn’t your parents.
-Sib
Good thought, thank you.

^Forcing
Opening lead: Ten of O
The forcing one no trump response
to a major suit opening is standard
among today’s tournament players.
One of its uses is to differentiate
between raises with three-card
and four-card support. The three-
card raises start with one no trump,
intending to jump to three of partner’s
major at their next turn. When opener
makes a strength-showing rebid, so
that three of the major is no longer
a jump, a jump to four of the major
shows this hand.
South won the opening diamond
lead with dummy’s ace and ran the
jack of spades. West’s discard on the
first trump caused South to stop and
make a plan. The plan he came up
with was elegant. He led dummy’s
10 of spades, which was covered by
East’s king and won by declarer’s
ace. South promptly led the jack of
clubs from his hand!
Had West won this with his queen,
the 10 of clubs would have become
an entry to dummy and allowed
South to finesse East out of his nine
of spades. West was a bit dazzled by
the lead of the jack and chose to duck
his queen. Declarer cashed the ace of
clubs and ruffed a club. East over
ruffed, but that was the only trick for
the defense. An elegant solution to a
thorny problem.
