[|Human|] HiMy brother is 28 years old living in patna. A week ago he told me about follwing symptoms:1. He thinks everyone is watching him2. Even if two strangers are tlking, he thinks they are tlking about him only and criticizing him3. He is vey sensitive to any scolding or harsh talks4. When ever he talks to someone apart from family members, he becomes very stressed. it is evident from his face.5. He has not much control on his mind. Some days he will be fine. other days he will be totally stressed out. cant study, cant do nay thing. I want to know what are these sysmptoms for. Is it lack of confidence, self esteem. And what are the cure for these things
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Here, you haven't mentioned the exact duration of symptoms. What you have described suggest that he has delusion of reference and may be delusion of persecution. These symptoms can be present in various kind of disorders per se, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, bipolar mood disorder etc. So you should take him to psychiatrist as early as possible for treatment. He can be given antipsychotics for his symptoms, but long term treatment plan needs detailed history. Hope I have answered your query,
