Hello, The symptoms of your wife are not related to anxiety or panic or depressive disorder. They are just part and parcel of her psyhosis. She is recovering from her illness and the voices and suspiciousness have reduced, but the distraction or inability to concentrate is still there. Many patients when get free from their positive symptoms ( like hearing voices etc), develop negative symptoms- memory problems, lethargy, inability to work properly and lack of motivation for most things. This also gets better with time and treatment. Patient should be motivated for doing all kinds of household works, and encouraged by others. She should bot be nudged and insulted for her declined performance ( negative comments only deteriorate them). Then gradually, with continous efforts, she will definitely become better. Donot worry, most of the time there is no permanent memory loss. Wish you good luck Dr. Manisha Gopal MD psychiatry
