Suffering From Depression. Showing Aggressive And Lack Of Confidence Took Him To A Homeopathy Clinic. Treatment?
Hello Doctor,
My brother was in depression. He will always think about the problems before he starts to do a job.
He is totally disturbs and resigned to his job and now idle since one year. If we do any argument against him then he will become aggressive. He will scold without thinking about the person to whom (even mother and father) ever he speaks in that situation. He notices all the mistakes in others. He has lack of confidence.
I took him to a homeopathy clinic, they have given medicine for him, during the course he will be not aggressive but the root problem was not sloved. So my father took him to a Hospital, the doctors are giving him some medicine by which his mind was controlled little. We found the medicine will be given to those who has Bipolar disorder.
He was taking the medicine from few months, he will sleep more time due to that medicine and becoming fat. So he started to stop taking medicine and getting anger on everything that goes against his perception.
He says that he is waste and not useful. He also not interested to consult any doctor even. He thinks about how to die without pain. He talks well and make others laugh some times but some times if anything goes wrong he will become aggressive and speaks whatever comes from mind.
Is there any doctor who can come volunteerly and come forward and talk to him over phone and convince him in to consult the doctor in Hyderabad?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
From the history you have mentioned it is definite that he is having Bipolar Disorder. He is having anger outbursts, irritability, not going to work etc are pointing to irritable mania though detailed symptom evaluation is needed. His ideas of worthlessness, hopelessness are pointing to depression. He need proper treatment from a qualified psychiatrist. Try to convince him to visit a Psychiatrist.
As you have mentioned about consultation on phone, you can contact HCM and can ask for telephonic consultation.
Thanks
