Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI

I admire you for positive outlook.

I understand your concern.

I guess it is delirious kind of clinical presentations.

Its usually worsening in night and associate with psychotic features. like suspiciousness and hearing of voices etc.

Need to evaluate thoroughly and require psychiatric consultation.

I prefer low dose of benzodiazapine for sleep disturbances and if not improve then add low dose of anti psychotic medicines.

But require evaluation so consult psychiatrist for further help.

Thank you.

Take care.
