Suggest Remedy For Confusion And Hallucinations

hello. recently I have been doing and hearing and even seeing strange things. sometimes confusing things for what they really are. Like thinking a dog is a demon or a tree for a husky. I hear voices telling me to do things and if i dont they will kill me. and ive been taping my foot and staring at objects constantly just waiting for them to move without me touching them

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi, thanks for the query. May I know what is your age, gender & whether you have recently started using any substance like cannabis (marijuana), amphetamine, opiates, cocaine etc. or have you recently suffered any accident with head injury or loss of consciousness? At present, based on information provided, there are few possibilities including excessive fears or anxiety about some events which is making you act in aforementioned manner. Is it the case? have you been stressed out recently or are not able to sleep properly since last few days? last possibility is that of suffering from a Psychotic episode where hallucinatory experiences are known to occur. Hence I would first suggest you to talk about these experiences with a family member or a significant other followed by consultation with a Psychiatrist where based upon assessment & diagnosis medications &/or lifestyle changes can be prescribed to help you recover. Good Luck
