Asking for Sister, Female, 25 years old, Karachi
Hi, my sister is showing unusual behavior. Initially she was depressed and use to cry, not telling us anything but seems like she thinks too much about her uni fellows behaviour. When the condition worsen, she started being suspicious and thinking that there are cameras and microphones in house. Dr. Iftikhar from Liaquat National gave her medicine and then her situation improved. She still talks and laughs, talking to someone in her mind, not present here and has anger management issues. We took her to sessions but the therapist did not diagnose what was the problem. Also, we cannot go to Clifton so frequently so we stopped as she was resistant and refused to go to sessions and the doctor also seemed not so interested and he never asked why patient is not coming for therapy. Please help. P.S. It would be easy to us to go for therapy in Gulshan and near areas regularly to affordable doctor
It is better to follow up her in liaquat national hospital to Dr Iqtidar. She need proper treatment and with that her condition will improve.

Her symptoms reflects that she has psychotic symptoms means symptoms which are out of reality, she need medications properly and psychotherapy sessions doesn’t work at this point and patient get easy non-compliant so get expert psychiatric opinion. Thanks

She's not being like this anymore. Nowadays, she just doesn't talk and weep or laugh... Too much in her head and confused. As mentioned above, psychiatrist told us to quit medication after hallucinations stopped and even therapist recommend a psychiatrist but said it's not needed at the time. Though, we're searching for some good options again... Please recommend.
I need to talk to your sister to confirm diagnosis, but with detail that you mentioned it looks like suffering from schizophrenia, and it takes long time treatment to show imporvment ,like diabetes
from the explanation u have given in the post n the following replies it appears that ur sister may b suffering from schizophrenia . previously positive symptoms were prominent but the symptoms that u mentioned now she is having like remianing in her head n not talking to anyone may also b negative symptoms of schizophrenia. . . u need to get her checked by a psychiatrist . .she needs medications n psychtherapy doesn't help much in schizophrenia cases. its treatment is mainly by medications
