Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I do understand your concern regarding your mother's health. Your mother seems to be suffering from a psychotic illness. However, more details regarding her symptoms would help in arriving to a definitive diagnosis. Symptoms like suspiciousness, aggression etc in addition to hearing voices might be suggestive of schizophrenia.

You also haven't provided details regarding what medications have she been on (with dose and duration). She might need treatment with antipsychotics (olanzapine, risperidone, etc). It might be possible that she doesn't respond to the 1st drug tried. Then another drug will have to be tried and effect assessed. You can discuss regarding this with your mother's psychiatrist (hope you are already consulting one).

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
