Suggest Therapy For A Mental Disorder Promoting Hallucinations
hello !
I think that my brother is suffering from some mental disorder. He is highly qualifies but refuses to work anywhere and has set up a business which now is under millions of debt. he still is after that and has become dilusional. besides he has had a few hallucinating episodes as well. he is obese .
I cannot diagnose your brother without meeting with him. Symptoms of mania include: at least three of the following: Inflated/expansive/irritable mood Grandiosity Decreased need for sleep and still very active Racing thoughts Pressure to keep talking/talking fast Distractibility Increase in goal-directed activity/agitation Increase in pleasurable/harmful activities, all of which can include hallucinations and or delusions.
It is possible your brother may be experiencing a manic episode, but there is too little information to tell. I strongly recommend that your brother see a medical doctor who can rule out any physical illness that may be contributing to his symptoms, such as thyroid problems.
Thank you for writing, Dr. Laura Noblejas Licensed Clinical Psychologist
