Prostate Problem, Overweight, Asthma, No Sound Sleep, ADHD. Solution?

Boyfriend, age 58...has minor prostate problems, little overweight , drinks daily, smoking with asthma . While in anxiety and fear, not having total control or the feeling he s in control and he constantly repeats himself ( started 2yrs ago ) and then when he s sleeping- he jerks, mumbles with angst and screams oh my god, sighs . It s unsettling and i worry about him. Oh and he s taken Dexometaphetamin (sp) speed for 8 yrs. 10 mg? Brown & white/clear capsules ( 2-5 daily). For ADHD . JG

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

Thank you for bringing up the situation of your boyfriend within a forum like this. I think your boyfriend needs expert help of a psychiatrist and a substance abuse counselor. His prostate problems, being overweight and having asthma apart (which need to be seen by a family medicine doctor), he needs to see a psychiatrist for his sleep disorder which might be secondary to a substance abuse condition. I also feel like he may have a primary mental health problem. Please consult these specialists as soon as possible along with your boyfriend.

I hope this helped. Take care and have a nice day !
