What Causes Loss Of Appetite, Talking To Self And Short Temper?
hello sir i want to ask about my bro he has been behaving very strangely from last 4 years..dont take meal regularly..like to stay alone..also now from few months he is talking with himself.. he is very short temper..also harm himself...pls give ur opinion about it..what necessary step we should take to make him normal..
He is showing symptoms like strange behaviour, irregular meals, like to stay alone at home or decreased sociality. He is also talking to self or muttering most probably. He has tendencies to harm self or others and is short tempered.
As per my opinion these symptoms should not be overlooked and need proper consultation of psychiatrist. Such type of symptoms can occur due to some psychotic episode. Even early stages of schizophrenia can be one possibility. There is urgent need for treatment.
Treatment in form of antipsychotics like Olanzapine, Haloperidon, Risperidone, Qutiapine etc is needed in psychosis. Proper family support to patient is necessary for better results.
Thanks, hope this helps you
