I was put in a hospital for a nervous breakdown they put me on a antiphsychotic and it made my mind weird and I still wasnt relaxed, is that possible? why would they make you take a category of medicine that isnt related to my anxiousness and insomnia? They classified me as schitzophrenic and I dont understand why I am stuck with that and they insisted so much on me taking a drug that was making more problems for me. I was discouraged already from having a faulty nervous system and hyperness and now Im more frustrated and discouraged because It has turned into a phscycotic disease. I never heard voices i never saw things that werent there I never wished any harm on anyone or myself. they asked me those questions over and over, I had just had some real bad dreams and was under alot of financial pressure and wasnt fully sleeping. Can you explain this?
Hello........ Thanks for your query. Delusions and hallucinations are only two of the symptoms of schizophrenia. There are other symptoms like apathy, emotional indifference and disorganized behavior. A patient usually does not have full insight into his symptoms in a psychotic illness like schizophrenia. If you are insistent, I would suggest a second opinion from a second psychiatrist after a detailed evaluation. Wish you good health. Regards Chat Doctor.
