Hi doctor. My boyfriend is facing a problem. He gets depressed. He shouts on everyone for everything. He very confused about anything he wants and everything he is doing. He used say he gets a dream of people following him trying to kill him. He wakes up suddenly with dysnea and sweating. He used to smoke marijuana for about four years everyday more than thrice. Than later he stopped but smokes once in a while. He gets frequent headaches. He feels tired very easily. He stopped mingling with people. He became very cranky. Just wants what he want. Or he will start shouting. Doesn't just think about anything els than himself. What can I do? This is becoming serious day by day. Should I take him to a psychiatrist? Is all this because of Marijuana?

Marijuana effects people differently and os it is possible that he is showing the signs of toxic psychosis and needs immediate help from a psychiatrist. He must stop the use of grass right away and see if there are any improvements: anyway, it does not seem to agree with his constitution. If he is lucky and this condition is caused by the substance abuse, it may not last long and he could recover with some professional help and complete abstinence. If on the other hand, he has some genetic factors to consider for his mental consition, then he has a lot of work to do combining medication with therapy.
