Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my husband has thyroid problems. if he does without thyroid meds or Prozac, he is like a crazy man. I believe he can be dangerous. I have never been scared of him. we have been married 46 years. I asked him how he could be so nice to other people but soon as he walks in the door I know here we go. the last time it was because I didn t feel like going with him to another church. he throwed a fit. another time we was driving down the road. he was driving. he started going side to side driving reckless. I said let me out. he said go ahead and jump. I hit at him, he must have had his elbow up. I hit with the side of my hand and broke my hand. I was crying and he laughed. if I had somewhere to go I would. I told him last time if it happened again I was leaving. he can take his meds. he acts like a different person. why is he like this/ he just admitted that he hadn t been taking them. he has gotting on me every day for 2 weeks or more. im disable so im in bed most of the time.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This may be an urgent situation, and your husband maybe undergoing a process called as psychosis which can be due to many reasons. I would suggest you consult a psychiatrist and inform him about his altered behavior. If I am your psychiatrist, I would take a detailed history and start him on anti-psychotics if diagnosis is proven.
Hope I have answered your query.
