Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, my son who was on drugs has since moved in with my family and I, he has not taken drugs since sept 2013. He has mood swings, he talks to voices/himself and I was told its because of the drugs I was also told I need to get him detoxed.? Can you please help, what should I do?
I think, he has substance induced psychotic disorder. You should consult a psychiatrist and get him properly evaluated. He needs proper treatment with antipsychotic drugs and with drugs he would improve in few days. Better to consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible.
Thanks
