Suffering Form Mental Confusion, Not Having Food. MRI, Blood Tests Done. What Should Be Done?

My husband is suffering from extreme mental confusion. He has had an MIR and well as many blood tests. All tests have proven to be negative. He is refusing to leave his bed and just doesn't want to talk or eat. He is very confused and can't seem to voice his concerns or thoughts. What can I do besides committing him, which is not an option?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. You have not mentioned the age of your husband. He must be suffering from life anxiety. MRI and other blood tests were normal and therefore he is supposed to be alright physically.

I should ask you so many questions. When this started? What were the basic reasons for this? Is he suffering from any other lifestyle disease? Is he satisfied with his family and professional life? Any unnatural death in your family or nearby? etc.

Usually, when a person who sees actual life, he gets confused about his role and should normally become anxious. Fear and anxiety are after products. Fear keep him in one place without moving and anxiety keeps him thinking.

Normally such patients need expert intervention. With the help of an expert Psychologist / psychotherapist your husband should become alright.

Consult such a specialist. Or book a telephone appointment through Healthcare Magic for me and talk to me. I shall help your husband in every way I can.

Hope I am able to partially clarify your doubt.Good luck.
