[|Human|] Hello, I have a friend who is suffering greatly from, what seems to be night terrors. Through he has common symptoms he is sixteen years old and remembers them. It has caused him to stop sleeping completely. He says he has terrible nightmares but doesn t remember what happened in them. Sometimes he says he can t move or scream when he wakes up. Sometimes he says he cannot breathe. He wakes up with scratches and hand prints on his neck and all over his body. He feels as if he is going crazy. Please if you can help I would really appreciate it.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I appreciate your concern for your friend. Based on the symptoms, he is suffering from anxiety neurosis and panic attacks. He would greatly benefit from consulting a neurologist or psychiatrist. The common medications used for treating anxiety include clonazepam, Escitalopram and dosulepin. He would improve well with medical treatment and counselling. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
