Hello doctors, I want to share about my mother sickness. She was 42, from past 13 yrs, she was facing mental illness. Till last 2006, my mother was super mom, now she was unusable, actually had a fight with father till 2006. In 2006, they were ok, within six months something happened and my mother also was beaten by father. Some local things happened, suddenly mom thoughts have changed, I can't allocate here, she was admitted to Govt. Mental care hospital in 2006. One month later she was discharged, a few months later, the same things happened repeatedly, multiple times she was admitted. She talks herself, scolding, self-laughing. Shouting. now, doctors prescribed olan10 mg (2 pieces) and respidon 2 mg, no change in her, and lost her strength and abilities. Here the situation I can't explain properly. Now it's 2019, until no change in her. I am a poor, self-education. It is not for myself, it is for my mother, can help anyone, please?

Hello Lybrate User the condition you have described indicates psychosis - possibility of schizophrenia. The duration of illness is longer making it chronic or long standing illness which with aging brain may not subside completely. But you can surely discuss with your doctors for helping her with psychosocial interventions along with medications which may help her improve at least in behaviour and daily activities. Also the medications can be optimised further. It does take time but should improve over a period.
