hi i'm a 14 yr old girl and I think my friend who is also the same age may be suffering from psychotic depression as I researched the signs and she has them. It first started over a month ago and all that she has told me is she has done something and she is afraid that god won't forgive her (she is quite religious) and she hears voices in her head saying "anti-Christ" whenever she prays. she says she has seen her local priest (so far once as I write this) and she said she felt better but she didn't go back and now she says if she keeps quiet for too long then 'bad' voices come in her head and she thinks too much. one moment she could be completely fine and the next she will be crying, myself and my friends have been very concerned and I'm not sure what to do anymore. it seems like something's blocking the advice that is given to her. please anyone respond as soon as possible.

I think that as much as she may hate you, try talking to her parents and getting her to see a therapist. My friends went through the say same thing when he realized he was gay and me and all of my other friends managed to speak to our school guidance counselor and his parents to get him a therapist and he is way happier now, he even has a boyfriend!! Really all you can do is try and get her help asap
Maybe her house is haunted, I mean she did see a priest and it could very well be a demon attached to her, if you do not believe in the parenormall do not judge it untill it happens to you, have you guys played with the oujja bored? is there something going on in her family? It may not be a psychotic depression it could be demonic, from what your saying something is most likely targeting her try asking her is anything strange is happening in her house, this could be a serious matter and unless you are helping her you are only making her feel crazy. ask her about her dreams as well, then do voice demos at her house first ask who are you?and then ask what do you want? this could be dangerous.
It maybe just something happening in her life. Maybe somebody in her family she dearly cares about is dying or is really sick. I was depressed for a lot of last year, and it really sucked. But I'm only 12, so my situation might be different than hers. But if she is really religious, then maybe she will not kill or cut like I did. I hope I was helpful.
