Suggest Counseling And Therapy

My son aged 22 yrs finished his eng.and even though got admission for p.g. course and also job opportunities is now doesnt show interest in these. He spendsentire day with friends and demands nowadayshuge sum of money, doesnt inform us anything .we consulted a psychiatrist who initially prescribed oleanze 2.5 and noe since the problem exists has prescribed dicorate 500(at night) or dicorate 250 in the morning. I haven,t started giving the medicine (he refused to come for counselling nad he is unaware the he is given oleanze) I mix with juice and giove the medicine. Now after reading about dicorate tabs side effects I am confused whether to start or just wait for sometime giving only oleanze 5mg or consult another psychiatrist for secnd opinion. My son wouldnt come to a doctor.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Either he has behavioral issues or manic episode. If he has manic episode, only then there is benefit for giving oleanz and dicorate. If it is his behavioral issues, in that case, you should consult a psychiatrist and get him proper evaluated. If he is not welling to go for consultation, you can get a psychiatrist for home visit. That would help to get a proper line of treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
