Suggest Treatment For Depression When Diagnosed With Asperger Syndrome
Hello.
You may call me Gabriel. I was diagnozed with Asperger as a child, and late, when i was around 16, under severe depression, i did a psychological test, and with my psychiatrist and psychologist, they claimed i had either a low level of Autism or F20.03.
At the time, i was under Risperidone, and untill last year, i was using Haldol, but that's not really what i want to talk about.
I have this friend, who says that she has something quite similar. She says she has 5 friends, 3 of them telling her "bad things", one of them telling "good things" and one of them being "alright".
The thing is, today, she told me that one of them, who she named George, made her almost cut her finger off.
So, back in 2016, i had a crisis. The thing is, i've been around 5 psychiatrist by now, always taking the history to them, and one of them was certain i was under the ICD.10 F20.3.
Back in 2016, i was kinda mixing stuff. I would mix people words, and believe it was someone else who was talking to me, talking through codes and messages, that only i could see, and other stuff.
The thing is, the way I DID to fix my problem, i quit ALL social media, and basically started doing different stuff.
About my friend, i don't know what should i do.
I don't know i should comment about her friends, tell her to ignore them, or what.
She was saying that she was feeling isolated, and i noticed that's a bad sign. She said two of her "friends" Vanessa and George were there (The ones who tell her to hurt herself) and i started to send her a few songs, and asked her to concentrate on the songs.
I don't know what i should do about this.
I know that some might say i might need to quit the relationship with her, because it might make my situation go "worse" as the more stressed i am, the worse i happend to be, but i really can't leave her like this, because if i do, i'll feel really bad about it.
Another thing. I did ask a lot of people about her, to confirm if she was real, including people near me, like mom and brother.
I just need to be sure i'm not making her treatment worse.
And i do wonder myself why she's taking 5mg of haloperidol, and still see this kind of thing.
I hope someone can awnser me, and give me a concrete advice.
Thanks for your time.

hi there, i have read your query in detail. At one point of time you have mentioned that you did ask lot of people if she means your friend is real? After reading your history, if that girl is just your imagination and not reality then you need to either increase the dose of heloperidol or change to other better antipsychotic. Now if she is real and if she has all problems you have mentioned that she also need to consult a psychiatrist because those persons who are telling to harm her, I am not sure weather they are real or she is having hallucinations. If she is hallucinating then she requires antipsychotics. Hope my answer was helpful to you.
