My husband is 40 years old and he is getting some very abnormal feelings from past 2-3 months, he says he is hearing people talking about him when there is nobody around him, he doubts that i am using some communication to threaten him, he doubts me that i doing some conspiracy against him, if he goes to public places he says that people are coming to beat him up in groups which is not true, because i was with in some situations where nothing like that was happening, but he was telling that people are trying to attack him . Please advice what is this problem and how i should cope with this

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi


I had gone through your query.


hearing of voices in absence of anyone suggest auditory hallucinations.
Fearfulness and suspiciousness that someone would harm him suggest delusion.

so delusion and auditory hallucination are the prime symptoms of psychotic illness most probably schizophreniform or schizophrenia.

But detail evaluation is needed before reach any conclusion.

So consult psychiatrist and get help.

It can be treated with different modalities. Early treatment will bring fast and better recovery.

So consult.

I hope i have answered your query.

Happy to help you further.


Thank you.
