ganesh2280 last decade
Ignatia 6 and Aurum Met 6 are not the right remedies for the kind of problems she is having.

In my opinion you should give her a single dose of Aconite 1M to recover from the shock that she had suffered after seeing the accident.

Later you should put her on Lachesis which seems to me her constitutional remedy on the basis of reported symptoms.

You may start with three doses of Lachesis 200c at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and review her case every 15 days.

So you may give her Aconite 1M now. You should see how she responds in next 7 days. If there is no substantial change you may give her Lachesis after 7 days as explained above.

15 days after giving Lachesis you should review her case and take the appropriate decision.

So this is what i think.

Please also listen to others as the case is not a simple and routine one.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks mr. Kadwa for the reply. I shall do as directed by you and report after 15 days or keep posted about the changes
 
ganesh2280 last decade
Dr. Kadwa, I do agree with your findings let us joined hands together to treat the patient. I think first of all the patient needs a dose of Miasmatic medicine. if you agree, I suggest Stram. or Hys. thereafter your protocol will start. As far as Aco is concerned though it is not deepseated remedy however it can be tried for timely relief However, Ars. would give good result instead of Aco.

From the description it appears a case border Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(APHD) with Bipolar disorder not amounting to Schezophrenia:

The Child has a genetic deficiency compounded by the present tense and the inadequacies in her bringing about insults and injuries to the mind. The shock taking capability of the mind is less. and here Arnica 200 or 1M single doses should help rather than Aconitum which is not indicated medicine. Neither Ignatia nor Aurum are indicated.

The indicated medicines are the same as we should give to autistic children and or similar kind of children where the damages are greater to the Thymus gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrinals and liver. The medicines should start right from the Stem Cells and with Thuja 30 three doses for three days. The maximum indicated medicine is Natrum Mur. 30 and should go upto 10M. The problems she received from Grief freight anger would be corrected by this medicine.
See the mind symptoms of Natrum Mur:
''''Psychic causes of disease; ill effects of grief, fright, anger, etc. Depressed, particularly in chronic diseases. Consolation aggravates. Irritable; gets into a passion about trifles. Awkward, hasty. Wants to be alone to cry. Tears with laughter.'''''''

Thereafter she would need few doses of Sulphur Calcarea Carb Lycopodium as Trio
and She would need Gratiola officianalis a few doses for the trantrum which if do not yield should be neutralised by Nux Vomica.
Ignatia will only aggravate the situation.

Lachesis symptoms which you have noticed are natural symptoms in women getting aggravated when their self esteem gets low. So instead of considering it as constitutional medicine you should give a dose or two in 200C potency to correct that particular behavioural disorder and its underlying causes. Stramonium and Nux Moschata may not be required but Anacardium and gelsemium may be given to correct the memory disorder and if need be and if there is constipation Alumina should come into play just one dose.

She would need Kali Phos, Ferrum Phos, Natrum Mur, Natrum Phos etc at 6X potency as tonic.

All miasms are seen in defective balance.
Medorrhinum 1M single dose, Tuberculinum 1M single dose may be required if not others.
There is also parasites in the stomach which may be taken care by occasional doses of Cina and Sulphur.

If there is any sexual deprivity overtone due to discontinued schooling at a stage when the children long for presence of opposite sex which is deprived due to discontinuing the studies, and subsequent depression lurking behind the actions, a dose or two of Staphisagria should correct it.

I am giving below a few medicines according to the symptoms and you can see the prominent medicines recurring. The case is not of Schizophrenia or depression. It is just a behavioural disorder of strong magnitude touching a stage or schozophrenic
obliviance where if not Anacardiumm, Alumina should help.

Dear Homeopaths, this is the feedback after giving aconite, ignatia and aurum metallicum:

This is the continuation of my previous posts hearing what my brother in law and sister have to say about their daughter who is suffering from this shall we call it a mania or a disorder??








My sisters daughter's mental pictures : (I shall refer to her as Tejaswini from now on. Tejaswini's younger sister is Chandana)

She makes a mountain of small issues for ex : her neighbour was cooking non-veg and she made a huge ruckus about it about the smell she called me over my mobile and she said she felt like as if someone was making her eat mutton.

She has no interest whatsoever in her studies.

She gets irritated when her mother or her grandmother ask her to study.

She wants to be pampered and her word to be listened to be at any cost. In otherwords, she should have a say in everything.

She hits at people who offends her with whatever is available, throws things like mobile during an attack which is generally b/w 4-8 pm.

She has fought with her friends in college because they dress awkwardly and obscenely i.e. she is too self conscious of other people's behaviour and thoughts.

She feels she is right correcting other people

She hates boys.

She is too suspicious i.e. she feels everyone is talking about her illness.

She has hit her grandmother once because she felt disturbed

She hit her sister yesterday because she went to her friends house suspecting she has talked about her illness.

Tejaswini has her exams 10+2 throughout this week. Can you please help her with a remedy to see that she remembers all she has read so far ??

We are worried about this seriously. What is this mania all about??? Is it the shock of seeing the accident that has caused this illness or
is it a hereditary disorder?? We are also worried that this might affect her younger sister Chandana also slowly. Chandana is also slowly affected by this.

My brother in law and my sister are too worried about this mania.
