Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problem

Hi. I have a friend who went on a 4 day party trip to vegas that included, aderol, pot, cocaine, mushrooms, alcohol, and liquid extasy. He did all of them over the course of the 4 days, with little to no sleep over the entire period, ending on the last day with a mixture of cocaine, alcohol and liquid E. He came home last sunday the 10th. It is now the 16th, and he is suffering from insomnia, disturbing thoughts and dreams, panic attacks, and general fear that he has lost total grip on being connected to himself. He can t close his eyes because the beat of the music and the lights from the clubs play continuously in his head. He keeps posting the songs on facebook, but also wants it to stop at the the same time. (At the same time, he also says it was the absolute best time of his life. And he doesn t want to be back here in reality. But at the same time he s totally suffering and seems to have lost himself completely. I can attest that he is not the same person at all as when he left. It is as if he s gone and consumed by thoughts and insomnia). Can you please tell me if it s possible to go through side affect withdrawals like this after a 4-day bender? He is not a drug user at all...This was an isolated incident. Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Psychologist 's  Response
Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You should not take self medicines for any health problems. Consult a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment. In your friends case, such a lavishly organized party with all those substances and chances of substance abuse can highly alter a persons intellectual ability and that person can act as if he is totally out of the world. This effect should wane off within some days or so. Let him take proper rest. Sometimes intravenos treatment may be required to neutralize the substances. Please consult a psychologist.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
