Psychiatrist 's  Response
hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic

Usually younger a abuse psychotropic drugs for addiction. If she is taking six different type of drugs, that means it is addicting to them. In that case u should consult a psychiatrist for de-addiction purpose. First try to find out the drugs she is taking and then consult a psychiatrist because most of time younger themselves do not disclose about drugs. Tc

Thanks
