Why could a girl be very depressed after her marriage?

Hi doctor,

Three years ago, my sister got married. But, her marriage lasted only for one month. According to her, the boy was not physically and mentally fit. So, she came back to live with us. She was very mentally disturbed at that time. A few months back, her second marriage got fixed again, and the bridegroom is our relative that is, the son of my mother's brother. She got married a month ago. Now, she is getting depressed again. Everything is perfect with the boy and his family. But she is getting mentally ill day by day. She starts blaming herself for the failure of her first marriage and is getting depressed. We are not able to judge her behavior. Does she have any kind of mental problem? How to deal with this situation? She was perfectly alright just before the marriage. Please suggest.

How to overcome loneliness after a breakup?

Hello doctor,

I had a relationship and I am not able to overcome that she is no more in my life. My family left me all alone by saying many things, which I could not accept and they are not talking to me for a long time. My friends are also saying to get away from them and I am being ignored. I do not know what is happening to me. And I do not know what to do. I am doing things like breaking every kind of stuff, hurting myself, crying for no reason, shouting at everyone, liking to be cruel, and cruelly getting things to stay alone. Please help.
