Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Your daughter of 20 years have depression, anxiety disorder and OCD. She is now having hallucinations and she has started talking nonsense at random times. Such type of symptoms can occur due to some psychotic disorder or due to some mood disorder most likely due to bipolar disorder. If she is having violent abusive behaviour, demandingness, risk taking behaviour etc symptoms apart from what you have mentioned then most likely the diagnosis is bipolar disorder. In psychotic disorders hallucinations especially auditory type, suspiciousness, fear etc symptoms are see. Visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.

Medicines like anti-psychotics as Olanzapine, Risperidone, Qutiapine etc can improve her hallucinations and will also help in decreasing her abnormal behaviour. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
