Suggest Treatment For Mental Illness
Dear Sir,
My name is Mrs. santa Paul and I live in Pune. It is about my daughter. She is suffering from mental illness. She didn't have any symptom from birth. It started slowly after she was 20 years of age. It goes in a cycle. For sometime she is as normal but the other time she is violent, breaking things, attacking others even suicidal. She is not ready to accept that she has a mental condition. So, it has become very difficult me to take her to a psychiatrist. Under the circumstances I don't know how and where to get help.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, either she has bipolar disorder or acute psychosis. In that case, you can try antipsychotic drugs like risperidone or olanzapine. These drugs would help to control her mood swings and irritability. If she is not welling to take drug, you can add medicine in her food. Better to consult a psychiatrist for prescription and management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
