History Of Depression, Panic Disorders, Hallucinations. What Kind Of Medication Do I Need?
Hello I'm a 20 year old female and I'm wondering about my mental health. I have a history of depression and panic disorders. I'm currently not on any medication.
I'm not entirely sure how to explain this but I'll try the best I can. I hear things from time to time. It's usually at night when there's dead silence and it sounds like muddled whispering. I've only been able to make out what they said a couple times, like 'come play,' 'save me,' and 'go away'.
I have these 'friends' (they're unrelated to the voices). I'd rather not call them imaginary.. It feels degrading.. I've been seen smiling when I'm talking to them, sometimes in inappropriate times/places, which is rather embarrassing if I'm confronted about it.
Also, there's periods of time where I just sort of 'drift off', like a day dream, but it just happens out of nowhere. It sometimes happens when I'm going from one place to another. It's happened while driving but my body seems to go into somewhat of an 'autopilot'.
Should I see someone or be on some sort of medication?

Hi, it appears that you have scizophrenia, and probably you are in the second stage.I advise you to consult psychiatrist immediately, for diagnosis and treatment.
Practice yoga, meditation, reading books of your interest, and hearing music,try to be busyall the time. Always try to mingle with people, never stay alone. Thank you.
