Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi , some of the features mentioned by you correspond to a type of mental illness called paranoid schizophrenia. As this illness has relapses and remissions, this is the typical age of presentation of female schizophrenic patients. Schiophrenia is more likely if you have any of your family members like parents , grand parents suffering from this illness. if at sometimes she is self muttering , or self smiling , or at times thinking that some one is jealous of her , someone is behind her, alone one is talking about her etc then the chances of schizophrenia are high . All you need to do is to consult a local psychiatrist and request for some depo injections which could be given according to her clinical condition. depending up on the situation as necessary your psychiatrist may choose the option of ECT ( electro convulsive therapy) depending up on her clinical condition. depending up on the improvement and her compliance , she may be later switched to oral antipsychotics. I hope , you would be benefitted from my reply, however if you have any more queries you are welcome.
