Suggest Treatment For Mental Disorder

i don t think i am schitzo, but there is someone in my head, whom i have named Alex, and she talks to me and gives me advice and acts like my sister when i do what she wants. when i don t, for instance, i have a boyfriend and i ve told him about Alex, and the more i tell him the more he worries, and then Alex gets mad, because she says she wants the best for me, and telling my boyfriend about her will scare him off and not want me anymore. my boyfriend likes having sex a lot, and Alex says it is only the sex he wants and that if i want to keep him and for him to stay with me , i have to accept that i am being used and be okay with it. she answers most of the questions he asks me so that i don t start anything and so that everything is smooth and easy. That is only a few of the examples, though. Is this normal? Like my subconcious? Or is it something else? I ve just been wondering.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello

Thanks for asking from HCM

You have mentioned that there is something in your head. You are aware of her existence. You can converse with her and she gives you advise. She sometimes tells you for your boyfriend. First of all would like to tell you that such type of subconscious things never exist. If you are hearing her voices or seeing her then most likely you are having hallucinations. Most likely you have beliefs about her existence and that points towards delusions. Delusions are false unshakable beliefs held firmly in mind. I would like to advise you to consult a Psychiatrist. With time this thing will start affecting your life and you will suffer badly.

Medicines like antipsychotics are commonly used for such symptoms. Olanzapine, Qutiapine, Risperidone etc are common drugs used. If no improvement is seen then for resistant symptoms Clozapine is prescribed. Consult a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.

Thanks
