<human>: My daughter is 41 years old. She became psychotic shortly after having a baby. She remains ill today. She is unable to concentrate, continually laughs and cries intermittently, she opens and closes her left hand continually, she speaks very little and is non-functionable. She lives in a group home and has lost and extreme amount of weight. She smokes small filtered cigars. Please help.
<bot>: ! Your daughter seem to have post partial psychosis and should see a psychiatrist at least once. Had I been treating her I would go for either olanzapine 5 mg or risperidone 1-2 mg along with Mizoram in daytime? sometimes when patient is very disturbed one may go for giving injectable antipsychotic, one - two shots, this helps in early recovery (like: olanzapine 5 mg Intramuscular). The most common side effect of Chat Doctor.  The repeated hand movements are just part of psychosis and should not be worried about much, will get sorted out on its own with
