What could cause hallucinations, severe anger in a child?
Patient: A 4 year old male child is hearing voices, he wants them to stop and says things like i want to cut off my head to make the voices stop, he tells his mother that that she is not his mother and he wants her to take him to his mother and that he wants to go home even when he is home. He gets extremely angry and says i am really angry and when he is sorry he says that he doesn t want to be bad/angry that he can t help it. The majority of the time he is a loving happy little boy, full of energy and wants lots of cuddles and kisses. Should the mother take him to a medical doctor or to a child psychologist. Doctor: Hello. i just read through your question. this is very concerning. The child should be seen by a psychologist or psychiatrist. the mother should first make the child's doctor aware and ask for a recommendation. The sooner this is done, the better.
