Bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia

2026-07-08 13:10:46
My mother is on medication for many symptoms of mental illness like random illogical talks, bipolar disorder, anxiety and weird self talk and laugh by herself when no one is around, negative talk like harm to relatives son or daughters, sometimes feel very energetic etc . So the doctor gave her medicines - Arzu 10, d venisys, parkisys 2, safedeno 200. Attached screenshot for the same. It's almost 1 and half years since she is doing well. But we can't cut off any medicine. At that cases how long she needs medication? Like 3 years or more?

I'm glad to hear your mother has been doing well over the last 1½ years. Based on the symptoms you described, it appears she has had a significant psychiatric illness, and in such conditions, medicines often need to be continued for several years, and sometimes even long-term, to prevent relapse. The decision to reduce or stop medications depends on her exact diagnosis, number of previous episodes, severity, and overall stability, and should only be made gradually under her psychiatrist's supervision. Since she is stable, I would advise continuing the current treatment and discussing the possibility of slow dose reduction during her regular follow-up rather than stopping medicines on your own.
Health Tips
alongside the pharmacological treatment add some non pharmacological measures can help maintain her recovery: • Maintain a fixed sleep schedule (7–8 hours daily). • Take medicines regularly without missing doses. • Encourage light exercise or a 30-minute walk most days. • Eat a balanced diet and stay well hydrated. • Maintain a structured daily routine with meaningful activities or hobbies. • Reduce stress through relaxation techniques, yoga, or deep breathing. • Ensure regular follow-up with her psychiatrist. • watch for early warning signs like poor sleep, increased energy, irritability, suspiciousness, excessive talking, or self-talk, and seek medical advice promptly if these appear. for further queries please contact

Hi. Since your mother has had severe symptoms such as illogical speech, mood changes, self-talk, and possible psychotic symptoms, it’s common for medication to be needed for several years, and sometimes lifelong, depending on the diagnosis and how many episodes she has had. The fact that she has been well for 1.5 years is a good sign, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the medicines should be reduced. Stopping or reducing them too early can increase the risk of relapse. Her psychiatrist is the best person to decide if and when a gradual dose reduction is appropriate, based on her stability and overall history. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
