What Causes Bruises All Over Body And Aggressive Behavior?
I think my adult daughter is using meth., it looks like she has aged 10 years in the past 3 weeks, she has bruised all over her body, she is experiencing paranoia and is acting very aggressively verbally, but not physically. She is gone all hours of the day and night. I think that most of this are the symptoms but she denies everything.

Dear User,
In my opinion your daughter needs to undergo detailed psychiatric evaluation. The symptoms you mentioned indicates towards a serious mental illness and many a times drug use may be secondary to mental illness. The other possibility is mental illness secondary to drug abuse but seems unlikely in your daughter as meth is very less likely to cause some of the symptoms you mentioned (paranoia).
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
