Relief from Mental disorders

A close acquaintance, aged 26 years,female, suffers from hallucinations looking alike movies on "evil possessions". When normal, she is like any of loveable normal humans.Had a lonely childhood and some bad experiences like no friends, away from family with her maid only. Given medical treatments, and shown to psychiatrists,stayed at holy temples also to no avail.When disturbed, she sometimes becomes violent in her expressions,and talks to herself ,with shaking of head etc.She herself is Masters in Psychology and a topper in studies. Any suggestions to the cause and way out? Regards

There could be a lot of different mental illnesses your friend suffers from.  It's obvious she is having psychotic episodes, and may be dangerous to herself or others.

Does she have any close family you could talk to?  It really sounds like she needs intensive inpatient psychiatric care.  She really needs to be thoroughly assessed.  If you could help her to make that happen, that wouild be great. If you can talk to her family, they may want to pursue a "302", which is an involuntary psych admission, which is imperative if she is showing signs of being a danger to herself or others.  Sadly, these kinds of situations can get serious very quickly.  Be very careful when you're around her, and she is exhibiting strange behavior.  If you ever are concerned about your safety, or hers, while you are with her, call 911 right away.

Best of luckl to your friend.
