My mother is being treated for mental illness in chennai. She has been on treatment for ocd for the past 5 years. Past few months she had suffering from manic depressive psychosis. Last week we have consulted another doctor as she wasn't recovering well. Present doctor has not yet diagnosed her illness. She is currently on following medications: loxapax 25 mg (night) loxapax10 mg (morning) oleanz 5 mg (night) tho 2 mg (morning) vincomo (morning) clozapine 50 mg (night) she has been given clozapine yesterday during our consultation. She has been so restless through out the day and behaved differently last night. She had suicidal thoughts before clozapine was prescribed to her. Even though she had suicidal thoughts before ,she was active and was doing her works properly. But now my mother says she will die by not eating food, she says she has become mad and her life has been destroyed. Her thoughts have become so random. She didn't behave this way before and after our last consultation 2 days back, she has started to behave this way. She says she would not go to work and give voluntary retirement. We are not sure why she has started to behave this way from yesterday. Why did the doctor prescribe clozapine? Is it having any bad effect on her behaviour? Is she having schizophrenia? Kindly advice why is it happening this way to my mother.

Dear Nagaprasad,
It is nice of you to know about your mother's behaviour and diagnosis. Whenever you change the doctor, it is better to take the summary of treatment from the previous doctor. The recent doctor has not yet diagnosed her. It takes time and observation to diagnose mental disorders. OCD symptoms may occur in both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Let us wait for the doctor to diagnose your mother's condition. Or request your previous doctor to talk to new doctor so that the di...more

Hello,
I being a neurologist its difficult to comment on the problem you are facing. But my sincere advise will to get hold of a decent psychiatrist or a institute/medical college with a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You should not neglect it and these can be treated. At the moment you seem to be getting a cocktail of medicines and this needs to be relooked at for better treatment.

Hello friend, good day. I can understand your concern about long term medication and its side effects. Be aware that medicine alone cannot treat such problems. It can help only to address certain symptoms feel better. In parallel, your brother needs a lot of non medical treatment plans including psychotherapy or mindset changes techniques, relaxation techniques, excercise routine, lifestyle changes, dietary changes and regular counseling guidance. In am not sure, how many of these been recommend...more

Hello,
It seems that the diagnosis of schizophrenia has been confirmed and she has placed on medication. there is an urgent need for her to continue the medication and schizophrenia needs to be controlled. IVF can be carried out at the same time. But remember that medication for schizophrenia is must for her. there is no definite proof as yet that resperidone can harm the fetus and it shouyld be used as the benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to fetus

Dear Lybrate user
ocd is a psychological disorder and it has psychological (mental and emotional causes) and many times patients are just managing the issues with medicines as the actual root causes are not resolved. Ocd is related to anxiety and also comes with stress depression and other thoughts and emotions so may be your mentioned problem is related to that only or may be it is some other issue. Consult a good psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist for the same and you will see per...more
