dc.description.abstractIn the present study, a condition of a major depressed mother who had three daughters and evidently neglect her daughters because of the pressure by the society and her relatives is presented. Our case is a 28-years old housewife with secondary school degree. She was admitted to our clinic with the symptoms of anhedonia, fatigue, unwillingness, crying and suicidal thoughts. She was hospitalized to psychiatric service with diagnosis of major depression because of the obvious symptoms of suicidal plans and motor retardation. It was understood that the last depression episode was experienced by her two years ago when she learned her child's sex form the gynecologist during her pregnancy. She stated that her husband's family wanted baby boy and blamed herself because she had failed to do so. Then, she started to neglect her girls after that time. She also stated that her care was reduced during her pregnancy and even she started to dress her children finer at cold weather and did not cover them at cold nights and did not give their medications to make them more and more ill. Also, said I wish my daughters die and I have a baby boy. Sex discrimination reduces the care that should be shown to girls. Our case wanted to harm her children because of the sex discrimination and ignored her daughters with the hope of having a baby boy.en_US
