Suggest Treatment For Delusions And Depression
Hi: My son is bipolar (42). Last year he was weaned from 23 anti-psychotic prescription pills per day due to severe liver and kidney damage from medications he ingested over ten years. The single prescription he takes now isn't working and he feels miserable. He's delusional, has difficulty connecting to family and friends, feels severe depression, has withdrawn from family and friends.
Is there any new therapy or medication that may help?

Hello,
I am really sorry to hear about your son's condition.
There are certain antipsychotics and antidepressants which can be taken by a patient having severe liver and kidney damage.
You have not mentioned the medicines he has already taken and currently he is on which medicine?
Kindly mention those medicines so that I can suggest you something.
Kind regards
Vikas
