Hello. I'm 36 year old female and I'm really worried about my daughter. These last couple of days she’s been acting kind a strange and I would like to find out what’s happening with her.
About two weeks ago she started to act strange, often acting very nervously. She also started to act like she developed serious depression and definitely lost all her motivation.
When I asked her what’s going on- she denied telling me anything. But her best school friend told me that she breakup with her boyfriend and that it is a probable cause.
She didn’t leave her room for weeks now and I'm afraid she could develop some psychotic disorder. Can anyone please tell me more about this!
Hello. I'm very sorry that you daughter is having those problems. I know some facts about most common psychotic disorders in younger people. In great majority of people we are talking about two disorders- depression and bipolar disorder.
I don’t know how much do you know about all this but adolescents and young adults are at highest risk for having their first psychotic episode, and the breakups are the most common cause.
She has almost all the symptoms but they could get worse and she might be experiencing rebellion or aggression acts, loss of interest in school. Child may notice changes in her hearing or vision. Good thing about all this is that after short psychiatrist counseling symptoms go away for good!
