I wonder, would this sedative actually be an anti-psychotic drug? As someone who has a family member with mental illness, these symptoms seem like something that would warrant such medication.
- extra88 7y agoSevere sleep deprivation can cause auditory hallucinations and other problems so first trying to help them get sleep to see how it affects their symptoms is a good idea.
- dsego 7y agoYeah, it's all somehow connected. My sibling's first problems were with sleeping and insomnia, long before the first psychotic breaks (years). Even now it's hard to for them to keep a steady sleeping schedule.
