She used to tell us \"Her mind is confussed\" Can somebody help how to provide treatment??? regards...Murugesan
Information about your sisters symptoms are not much helpful to me. You say she remains OK in between the attacks, she shows split personality Behavior ?, does not talk normally, cries most of the time & realizes that her mind is confused. Though not very clear but most probably it goes in favor of Affective type of mental problem because in Old Psychotic case [? Schizophrenia], Client usually lacks Insight which your sister still understand her problem. You need help of Psychiatrist either by direct consultation or charting may be helpful to know her problems in details. I feel she should be cured.
