These Iranian attackers are dumb and dull. You don't waste these scarce chances if you wanna progress.
They may be punished for this.

Good day Sir. How much do you do plagiarism check up using turnitin please?

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.

Thank you very much Sir

khadaffi:
I'm not a doctor. So it will be good you see one preferably a neurologist. But I'm familiar with most neurological problems as most of my family members have suffered from it.
1. How was she born? Is it through CS or normal delivery.

2. Has she ever had any kind of seizure like fainting, epilepsy (or related illness), convulsion, etc.

Having this answers will help and I might be able to suggest what you will need to do. If your family is covered in any health schemes such as NHIS, cost shouldn't be a problem.

On another hand if she is an introvert her behaviour might just be normal since you said she talks(responds) well.

1. Normal delivery
2. No case
Yes, she's an introvert

monfizzy:
How old is she? Is she in her teenage years and less or around 22years old? If yes, it could be signs of early psychosis such as paranoid schizophrenia. She need to see a consultant psychologist who’ll review her and run a mental health assessments on her and the diagnosis will determine if she’ll be placed on antipsychotics or CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) medication to manage her symptoms.

There’s nothing like spiritual attack here. Mental health is an absolute medical condition and only a medical intervention will help.

She's 16. Thanks Sir for your input

Mindlog:
Mental homes have always been scary, so it is nothing new.

Clarify please.

placeofallure:
Hmmmn! Not funny. I can imagine your state of mind now.

How old exactly is she? What school is she in? Who are her friends? What activities do they co-engage in? Find out ASAP. Many mental homes are scary these days, unpalatable news springing out from there .

She is 16. Dad enrolled her in a Private School of Health Tech to save her from stress cuz of her condition. She currently doesn't have friends cuz of her condition. She doesn't socialize. Care to expatiate the bolded?

Owutuotuo:
Heard of Schizophrenia? Please do some extensive reading on it and take advantage of help from mental health experts. A blood relative, top of his class, med student, developed the traits and sadly had to stop med school. God help your sis.

Thank You

@OP

Your sister may be experiencing what is referred to as a "spontaneously induced psychosis" without the presence of any external factor such as drugs. The symptoms you explained are consistent with people who experience such mental breaks and she if she is a minor, it is important you get her to a medical facility that treats mental health issues as quick as possible for observation.

People who normally experience this break are not aware of what is going on are very vulnerable and may fall in and out of coherence. She should be observed and examined for a reasonable period of time before introducing any drugs into her system.

Wish your family the best.

Thank You Sir

Mindlog:
How old is she?

16

malvisguy212:
if your dad say it's a spiritual attack. seat down with him and reason together. maybe there are things you don't know yet. there is a saying that said " what an old man seat and see a young man standing will not see it "

seat down and reason with your dad before you go and spend unnecessary money in the hospital.

But the spiritual remedies he has been trying for months now have no noticeable effects.

blaquebelle:
I hope she didn't experience any psychological trauma at childhood?

Yes, she did. She never wanted to attend Day school. Our dad force her and since then, all these started. Could it be the cause and what should we do?

Hassanmaye:
Play Qur'an for her to listen and please I'm not joking. Get back to me.

We have been doing this. I have Sudais, Minshari, Abdulbasit, Abdullahi abba etc recitations app in my phone and she has been listening to it. Infact, she's almost mrmorized Sudais' Al Qunuts but still, she still laugh and talks alone.

MEGA4BILLION:
Run a test for typhoid fever, it could be the cause and if positive, treat her well

Exactly what we did First but after observing stagnation in her condition, my Dad think it's spiritual

OkCornel:
Is she a quiet and intelligent person?
I’m trying to get an angle on her personality type.

Yes, she's quiet and I wouldn't call her 'dull'

MufasaLion:
It's a health issue. Visit a physician at the clinic.

It's not a spiritual issue. Don't let anyone deceive you.

Thank you Sir

abobote:
Convince your Dad to take her to the mental health expert, and if he insists is spiritual, he should start doing something about it, before it gets late

He's doing things his own way with no noticeable improvement

Cc: HumbleOptimist

They will place her on drugs she will take till she lives. Which will complicate the issues more.
She needs counseling, don’t allow her take any drugs.

Thanks. But she's not getting any better

Realmi:
...does madness run in ur family....no offence....but hope it is not something that is hereditary

No never heard of it. Neither Paternal or Maternal, all negative

haybhi1:
As already popularly suggested, take her to psychiatric hospital. Could have been due to many things; schizophrenia, tendencies, and the likes. But please rule out spiritual stuffs for now. Standard hospital please.

My sympathies are with your family.

Too many insensitive and unintelligent people on this thread.
People saying heartbreak, oraimo cord, yahoo boyfriend,...

It's frustrating.

It always doesn't have to be about trying too hard to make joke na. Have some iota of sense na. Is it that hard?

Thank You Sir

soberdrunk:
Any history of drug abuse?

No Sir.

maureensylvia:
Chaiiii

In as much as talking to oneself isn't something to be worried about cos I do too, Too much of it is something you should be worried about... The underlying causes could be depression or bipolar issue

Did you notice any new changes in her habit, I.e taking substances

How old is she?

She doesn't take anything. She's 16. She is very reserved and quiet before this...

Romanoff:
Could be depression due to heartbreak.

I've seen heartbreak make some ladies lose it.

First take her to a tertiary level hospital to be examined by a doctor, she'd be referred to a psychologist or a psychiatrist depending on her symptoms.

She's a Minor and an Introvert. Always indoors. Thanks for your input.

ZaRuleOfLaw:
count her undies and check if they are complete. also read her chats. it might help

She's a Minor, doesn't have phones. She's an introvert too. Thanks for your input.

Good Day Dear Nairaland Family,

My Sister started behaving weirdly last few Weeks. She laughs alone, talks alone and is sometimes restless especially at Night.

Though she always responds well and correctly when engaged. I've asked her and she told me she doesn't know when that happens and it's unintentional.

I, on my part have tried talking to my Dad to take her to a Mental Health Expert, my Dad seems to believe it is spiritual attack instead.
Please, I need Medical practitioners in the house to help tell me what she's probably suffering from so I can Confidently convince my Dad.

Can you please help move this to front page?

Good one. Why was Wadume given shorter sentence though?
