Suggest Treatment For Paranoid Behavior And Hallucinations

I have been repeatedly up at night because I fear someone is going to murder me. I can t sleep until it s light outside. This only happens when it s late at night, starting around 12 or 1am. I keep imagining I hear sounds. What can I do to get over this?

Hi,

Paranoid delusions and hallucinations might indicate an underlying psychotic illness.

Rather than self treating, it will be better for us to seek the help of a psychiatrist as this needs evaluation in different spheres to come to a specific diagnosis and treatment will vary accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
