I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's very hard. Hug

If you post your location in the title, I'm sure you'll get more responses. I hope you find the help you need.

Would you ask relief or amudim?
I'm not a fan of any organization (personal experiences) but they did help me with information.

Don't expect the emotional support you deserve. Just a matter of fact call.

Sudden onset mental illness always makes me suspect Lyme or pandas or AE. I would want a very very complete medical workup by an informed neurologist before going down the psych route

My niece spent time in Westchester as a teen.

She's doing very well now B"H. Not Chassidish but very frum BY-type.

I know people whose mental illness got so much worse because of the time they wasted going down this route, rather than getting fast treatment.

FYI - Covid has caused psychiatric disturbances in people who were previously fine - especially anosmia Covid. Please don't delay by testing for other things!

Did they get fast and aggressive treatment for an autoimmune encephalopathy and things got worse?

They put off treating a mental health condition and were on antibiotics instead. Altered certain chemistry in brain.
