I have a few questions. My daughter who
is only fourteen years old has gotten
caught using marijuana quite a few times,
I mention this because I am assuming it
might be somewhat relevant. She is
extremely nervous all of the time, she
bites the skin on her fingers till they
bleed, she walks around back and forth an
excessive amount of times at completely
unusual times. She cant seem to fall
asleep till 4 a.M. And recently she has
mentioned something to me. She tells me
when she is doing something for example,
cleaning her room that something/someone
in her head tells her to do things such as
pick up that trash and something good will
happen. I know this is all very
confusing, but she says she cant ignore
these voices, which she describes to be as
herself and that it is at such a great
extent that they are always there. I have
also noticed that when a situation gets a
little to hard for her to handle she goes
completely crazy starts yelling and
hitting herself. She is not violent
towards anyone else or ever has been, just
herself. Does she have a condition that I
should be worried about??? Please help.

Well first I would take her to your family
physician, and maybe get a urinalysis, to
see if she may be using any other drugs,
because some drugs can cause temporary
schzisofrenia, which would explain the
voices.
If no other drugs are in her system then I
would take her to a psychiatrist at her
school
