A. I am so sorry that you were struggling with these symptoms, and very glad you took the time to write us here at Psych Central.

The intensity of your reactions and the volatility of your thoughts suggest evaluation by a psychiatrist or a psychiatric mental health nurse-practitioner. The forceful and rapid mood swings combined with the internal voices and commands indicates you should make this appointment sooner rather than later. A psychiatrist or a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner would be in a better position to know if there is a medical concern underlying the symptoms. He or she would also be able to prescribe medicine if it is needed.

Wishing you patience and peace,
