Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.

The medications that you mention are the usual medications that are used in schizoaffective disorder.

Dear Lynbrate user
At 9months we usually have febrile seizures in children. At that time did he has fever the situation
N
now you have described is called Breath holding spells. When the child tries to hold his breath just pinch him or give a slap on back so that he stats breathing
Give him Iron and Zinc supplements
But let some Paediatrician see the attack
so that it can be confirmed that it breath holding and not seizure.

Dear Zeeshan,

Constipation is NOT a side effect of lithium. On the other hand, lithium being a salt causes loose motions in few persons. Find other causes for constipation and settle them continuing lithium.
Hair fall is due to Depakote that you have taken before one month. NOT due to lithium. It will settle down by itself. Otherw...more

Hi. It seems like there is trauma from your father's death that hasn't been processed. Thepray can give you a safe space to work towards resolving your concerns and make progress towards a healthier future. Please consult with your psychiatrist as your symptoms are not in remission. Stopping with them can exacerbate your thoughts and mood.
