Hi! Ok this is the deal, I have a friend that her husband is having some problems, she noticed about a year ago he was a little afraid to be home alone and at nights I wouldn't go to the bathroom by himself, she tHought he was just joking but with the days it got worse to the point that now he wakes up at night screaming and he sees stuff he is so scaried that can't sleep in the house anymore, this is not normal I know but this happens only if he is at home but he can go easy from extremily happy to Extremily sad have some quick changes she is so desperate and don't know what to do. Does any one ever heard some like this???
Memere RN/BA - I've been a Geri-Psych nurse for 30+ yrs, Psych is psych not matter what age. He is suffering from a phobia. He needs to see a specialist. Waking up screaming could be nightmares so real to him, it scares him while awake. A lot a people won't leave their homes because of a phobia. Bi-polar can occur at any age. The best thing that can be done for him is to see a Psychiatrist. Hope things get better for him and his wife.
