HumbleOptimist: If you people take her to Psychiatric hospital they will place her on drugs , if she stops taking the drugs whatever is happening to her will return in multiple. If she talks back at your dad or even fight him don’t be astonished is the long effects of the drugs. The drugs trying to keep them calm makes them more bold in actions. For some the drugs increases their appetite for food leading to adding of flesh so much, for others could be their tongue getting longer all are side effects of the drugs given to such patients to calm her down. I am writing you from experience of what my little sister passed through. She’s now in South Africa and there’s no drug she’s on . Is counseling that brought her back to normal. Nigeria health system is not it at all. |

seunak2016: I have no "route". My specialty is clinical child psychology and I do not practice in Nigeria, where this could have been a "means" of getting "customers" to to my facility. I need to ask questions which he has to direct to his sister and such is not what I will be asking publicly. |

I have gone through the thread from the beginning to the end, from the First page to page 9. I have seen tons of advice, suggestions and Critisms. To the Comedians, thank you for your sense of humor. To those who shared my pains, I appreciate and I'm thankful. We will try to see a clinical Psychologist before proceeding to see a Consultant /Specialist in Mental Health from any of the Tertiary Health Centres here in the FCT while letting my Dad continue with his spiritual remedies. I hope my Sister gets well soon. Thank you Nairaland Family and I wish y'all a very good evening 3 Likes |

My sister you have to take to Holiness Minister who is baptized in the Holy Spirit... and they will pray for her and cast the evil spirit from her... and God will heal.... If you in portharcourt, I would have introduce you to the Prophetic Army Church Igbo-Etche Rivers State... instantly as the Ministry prayed... God will heal her....many people are being heal there of different sickness by God using the Holy Man of God....Mark 16:16-20, Acts 8:4-8, 16:16-18, 19:11-12.... |

[You have said it all.... this first episode has to be property managed by an expert in the field.... post =117087817]Symptoms start when she can't sleep, she starts to think too much and before you know it starts thinking out loud. She needs to sleep so her brain can rest/reset. Take her to see a doctor asap. DONT take her to a pastor or Alfa, they are not doctors. If you do, you are only gonna worsen her situation. She needs medical attention, not spiritual welfare. She needs a psychiatrist more than she needs a pastor or alfar right now.[/quote] |

Goldie16: Are you ok. Are you alright at all. Such drugs come in varying "g" or "mg"....like 5mg, 10mg....and as much as 200mg. A doctor almost killed a friend by prescribing drug outside of his field of study. He gave him 200mg of a drug when all he needed was 10 mg which was corrected after he went to "Yaba". My guy go just dey, him mouth go dey open by itself, go belike say all him tougue wan pull come outside. No try this nonsense wey you just do again oh. |

HumbleOptimist: Truth is I have a sister with the similar issues, some might be spiritual as this sis I’m talking about just started to exhibit this symptoms without any cause, a week to showing this symptoms it got so worsened that if she’s started it’ll take 2 grown up man to hold her down. Long story short she later died after few months, the mysterious part is till she was buried her body didn’t get stiffed, it was just like she was sleeping. The memory is still fresh. I pray yours won’t be like this, if your dad believes it’s spiritual don’t doubt him instead look for every means to save her 2 Likes |

HumbleOptimist: I hope your Sister gets well soon too but hope is not enough, you have to take her to a psychiatrist immediately before it gets worse. Forget Psychologist and it is not a spiritual attack but a mental illness that is as common as the common cold. Also, the less religion and religious text she reads now the better for her as she does not need religion or any thing that involves deep thinking for now and what she needs is proper psychiatric evaluation and care and like someone said earlier, she has to complete her course of medication received from the psychiatrist for at least 12 months to prevent a relapse as its better to nip it in the bud with medication now that she is still young to prevent it repeating itself every few years in her life. Also, she needs as much sleep as she can get as during sleep is when the neurotransmitters (chemicals) in the brain gets replenished and mental illness is a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain and for some people, they can develop the exact same symptoms your sister is showing if they do not sleep for just 3 days. Make sure you guys do not wake her up when she is sleeping or make noises that will interrupt her sleep and if possible let her sleep in a darkened room with no Tv and the lights switched off. If you guys don't take her for evaluation and treatment at a Psychiatrists fast, it may degenerate into something you can't handle so the quicker you get her to a Qualified Psychiatrist the better. All the best. |

HumbleOptimist:It could be mild psychosis due to depression. She needs to open up about something. Take her to a psychologist first, then psychiatrist. Know someone that had that. She was rushed to UCH IB, and they simply started administering drugs. She took her drug anytime she felt like she was lapsing. However, the root cause was emotional, so a psychologist solved it, and she's fine. 2 Likes |
Re: Help!!! My Sister Is Having A Mental Health Challenge by placeofallure(f): 12:20am On Sep 29, 2022 |
HumbleOptimist: I don't know what could be emotionally wrenching or overwhelming for a 16 year old to have resulted in her condition. If she doesn't socialise, check out what she does on her own, maybe drugs or anything. Is there a history (even remotely so) of any similar condition in the family. I'm sorry, just trying to trace the root. As per the bolded, every system in Nigeria has collapsed. In some institutions, the caregivers are not dedicated. They just administer drugs that calm patients down not necessarily anything that will really improve their condition. When the patients are calm, it translates to less stress for them. On the part of the patients, their senses gets more weakened or deadened and automatically lesser chance at recovery. God will perfect her healing. I don't ever take the God factor for granted. Pray for her too. |
