38 year old suffering from illusions and depression. Hearing voices. Treatment?

Hello...
Thanks for your query. Talking to self and hearing voices that others do not are referred to as auditory hallucinations and hallucinatory behaviour. These are symptoms of psychotic illness. Effective antipsychotics are available to deal with the condition. I would suggest a thorough psychiatric evaluation followed by appropriate antipsychotics for management. Sedatives can be precribed for sleep difficulty.

Hello ~ It seems like your mother is suffering from a form of psychoses known as schizoaffective disorder, although it might need to be explored into further with a detailed history. It is suggested that you consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible. It may also be the case that she is suffering from a form of depression along with psychosis which would need immediate psychiatric and psychological attention. Medications with therapy or counseling is known to be helpful with these conditions. In any case, I suggest that you consult a psychiatrist for your mother (preferably take her to see the psychiatrist as well). I hope this helped. Take care.

Hi
you are advised to take her immediately to a qualified psychiatrist as the symptoms you are describing suggests schizophraenia may be paranoid type and she needs medication to controll her symptoms.
