My wife faces too much stress. She is telling she is hearing a sound some one speaking about her. She always telling that my neighbor house people is talking like that. She feels insecure feeling. We already went to psychologist and he given some tables to reduce stress after initial counseling. Doctor told me that some liquid in brain produced more. Nearly 4 weeks medicine she took, first two weeks she was in her sisters house, she feels better there, before one week we came to our house. Here also for first 5 - 6 days she was quit. But for last 2-3 days, she is telling the same. What I do now sir. I Know that no such sound is hearing by me. I want to bring out my wife from this situation. Please help me.

Hi Mr. Lybrate-user, it seems to me she is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia or delusion of persecution in addition to some disorder- depression or psychosis. You need to consult a psychiatrist and not a psychologist for medication. The medication needs to be taken for 1-2 years as advised by doctors but you will see relief from symptoms within 2-3 months, but if you leave the medicine is between symptoms will resurface, just take medicine as of bp or diabetes. Get her treatment done in a proper way. Its a serious call. All the best.

It sounds like there is more to this than has been identified so far. Please seek a second opinion from another psychiatrist and she must go for counseling too along with the medication. It is the combination of these two therapies that she can get the best results. She will need to take her parents along to identify any childhood influences and for genetic factors too. She will need a lot of your support and careful monitoring to really help her through this.
