Can Taking Sinpine Help Treat Mood Swings Due To Disturbed Mind?

My daughter has been self harming herself and has recently been given sinpine 25 mg to help. lately i have seen her mood can change quickly and she talks so fast that i cant understand what she's saying, her conversation can change from one to another. she doesn't bother to wash her hair change her clothes or even get out of bed. She has false beliefs and is seeing and hearing things what aren't real.

Hello,
The symptoms of your daughter are suggestive of psychotic disorder- may be schizophrenia. The point that she has increased speech output can be a part of schizophrenia or may be mania together with it.
This can only be diagnosed correctly by interviewing her. However, both can be treated with adequatley with meds.

Drugs like olanzapine or resperidone are very good in handling such symptoms. If you are able to give her meds orally ask her doctor to change the drugs becuase the present ones seem to do no good.

dont worry, it is treatable and with proper meds she will start showing improvement in few days only.

Good luck.
