What Causes Severe Depression And Insomnia Along With Hallucination?

my 11 yr old daughter dose not sleep at night, she is always crying for no reason. She thinks we hate her, she hears voices, she says she felt someone touch her face and she sees ghosts. She is always mad at us will disrespect us, will tell us no or to be quiet. She sometimes yells at us saying she hates us and wishes she was dead. She has said I want to kill myself. I have not talked to her Dr. yet, put plan on doing so.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hallucination, feeling something which is not there are sign of psychosis. It can be secondary to depression if the symptoms of psychosis came after depression or can be a individual entity. She needs anti-psychotic drugs for it. She has no touch with the reality so she is behaving in strange manner with you. Once she will be okay with the help of medication she will behave as she used to be.

Hope I have answered your query.
