Whether it is necessary to address to the doctor if excruciate functional auditory hallucinations

Sergey asks:

Hello, I have 5-6 days of functional functional auditory hallucinations. At first, I thought it was reality, then my friends said that it seemed to me. Then I noticed, I read an article on them on the Internet, I can relate my skills to functional auditory hallucinations, since they arise only on the background of conversations of people I do not know. It's like they reproach me, scold, etc. I drink novopassit and try to control them, like the best. At the same time, I had sleep disorders, poor appetite, absent-mindedness, poor concentration, sometimes disorientation, headache. This was preceded by a long sitting at home without a job. I live alone, not a lot of live communication. More than a month did not go out for walks, there were depressions, disturbed sleep. Tell me, please, can this be with a mentally healthy person? What disease it can be? Whether it is necessary to address to the doctor? If it costs something to the therapist? Or it is possible at once to the psychiatrist? I would be very grateful. Thank you very much in advance.

Answer:

Sergey, therapist will not help you much. A similar condition is the competence of a psychiatrist or, at most, a psychologist. The fact is that functional auditory hallucinations are an alarming signal, it can testify both to mental disorders and neurological disorders, but if you carry out psychocorrection along with medication in time, you will forget about it in the near future.

First of all, you need to make sure that hallucinations are really functional, and not the first sign of schizophrenia. The same symptoms may be associated with Alzheimer's, but since this disease occurs mainly in the elderly, and you are looking for work, it means a young man, it's too early to talk about it. Also, the psychiatrist will prescribe the necessary examination in order to exclude brain tumors and vascular diseases.

Because you have neurological disorders( sleep disturbance, headache, etc.) on the background of depression, the faster you go to see a psychiatrist, the better the treatment will be.
