Suggest medication for mental health
Patient: I have an aunt who thinks that someone is trying to make it appear that she is crazy.  She thinks someone is switching things out in her house - tv's, pots, cloths, changing door locks, moving things, taking things.  She lives alone (lost her husband 2 years ago). We the family don't know what to do. Doctor: Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.The symptoms that you are mentioning are suggestive of paranoid schizophrenia. She certainly needs proper psychiatric treatment. Risperidon, olanzapine, clozapine, aripiprazole are all good drugs for the treatment of such an illness. These medications need to be continued for a few years and the symptoms will mostly reduce by 2-3 weeks. If she is not willing to seek help then you may seek help of police and law who can guide her to proper medical help.Hope I am able to answer your concerns.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
