Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I wanted to discuss a problem with you about my loving wife. She is PG medical microbiology student and doing quite well in her academics. She lives in hostel. We got married one year back. She is BPD (bipolar disorder) patient. She used to report me that she always feared in the evening I mean she think that now evening starts and her bed will shake in the night, she felt someone presence near to her door and table. When she go on bed got sleep than she think that some is shaking her bed she jumped on the bed and her sleep broken. She is not able to take sleep properly because of this fear problem and used to take medicine for the sleep. I listen to her very patiently but I got perturbed when I saw her in pain. I am not able to her except giving her some assurance. I discussed with yesterday night whether she got similar fear when she stays with me. She said no. She only got those dreams when she is alone. I asked her to go and meet with people in the hostel. She said she did the same. When she speak to me over phone nothing comes in her mind but as soon as she got alone she starts thinking in same direction. I am writing to you by keeping in my mind that you can help me in some way. Please advise me how to handle the situation so that I can see her happy. I cannot see her in pain. I will be very thankful to you.
on what basis , you are claiming that she is suffering from Bipolar affective disorder. have you seen her prescription by any consultant psychiatrist. It includes alternate attracts of manic / hypo manic episodes and depressive episodes. moreover with the history that you have provided more corresponds with paranoid schizophrenia. As you have not mentioned her family history , past medical history and affective episodes whether present or not so more likely she seems to be suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. you should consult a nearby psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment. I hope this helps you and your partner.
