Psychological Diagnosis (Adult And Child) Questions

Asked for male, 22 years old from Mumbai

On 29th october 2021, diagnosis of schizophrenia is confirmed by a psychiatrist (3 times) with the help of psychologist and the psychiatrist prescribed me medicines for schizophrenia but I don’t want to opt for allopathic. And now I want to stop the treatment because I am feeling normal by doing daily yoga and consuming ayurveda herbs. Do I need to consult a doctor to stop ayurveda herbs or ayurveda medicines?

If you were diagnosed or suspected to have schizophrenia you have to ask the doctor before stopping the medicines.

Health Query

Dear professional, in my house I have two autistic sons aged 8 and 12 years old. The eldest son is already fully into puberty, so that's why he practices a lot with sexuality! in addition, his younger brother looks up to his older brother very much, so he takes over all sexual behavior! both sons have also been processed via artificial insemination via donor sperm, which means that they are very busy donating their sperm later in the future. They do that by lying in their bedroom masturbating in their nudity at a certain time! this behavior started with my oldest son, but not much later he taught it to his younger brother too! my question to you is: is it normal for my oldest son to excite his younger brother about things like sexuality, especially things like having kids and masturbating?

For the treatment of schizophrenia, I will not go for homoeopathic medicines but through ayurveda. Do I need prescription for ayurveda herbs? We can instead read the label for dosage instructions. Yes, it is confirmed by a psychiatrist (3 times) that I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and the psychiatrist (member of indian psychiatric society) prescribed me sizopin 25 mg (1/2 or 1 at 7 pm) and amisulpride 100 mg (1 0 2) on 1st november 2021 but I don’t want to start these psychiatric/allopathic medicines for the treatment of schizophrenia and prefer to opt for ayurveda herbs. And there are some psychiatrists who are trained in ayurveda, so I can seek help from such person.

Hello,
as the scientific knowledge is scanty it becomes difficult to follow psychiatric patients on ayurevedic treatment. I suggest you continue with your psychiatrist.

Hello Hemanth,
there is requirement to stop Propranolol , and though it can be stopped any time it will be preferable to take 10 mg for 3-5 days and then stop it.

Asked for male, 22 years old from Mumbai

Yes, I am aware about my problem (even according to a psychiatrist also, I am suffering from schizoaffective disorder - but not medical diagnosis provided). I have to control it in a proper way. Medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health. I have to work on my own, through my own will-power and positive thoughts. I will not depend on the medicines and will not make it a habit for future. Yes, I started to take the psychiatric medicines on 2nd january 2021 and stopped it on 19th february 2021 by tapering as advised by psychiatrist. I was taking escitalopram and olanzapine for depression, anxiety, mild trichotillomania, bipolar 1 disorder (most recent episode), moderate cluster b traits, grandiose delusions, odd eccentric belief, premorbid rigidity, anhedonia, non pervasive low mood and mood swings. And in total I had undergone 27 counselling/psychotherapy sessions. Also I completed (in total) 8 weeks of computerized cognitive behavioural therapy. Also, my parents are aware of my problem (they got to know by my college principal) I feel that the thought of antidepressants increase serotonin is theoretical but it's side-effects are confirmed in the sense after stopping antidepressants/antipsychotic, relapse of mood disorder could occur in a severe way.

If you are not going to use the medication, it is going to be very tough. In that case, you will need to not only work with a counselor but also do a lot of lifestyle changes as advised by a CBT therapist, and completely comply with all the expectations. My recommendation is for you to not rush coming off of the medication right now. The combination of medication with the therapy is ideal and the prognosis will be relatively good. Oftentimes, there can be overlapping symptoms and conditions betw...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.
