Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

About an year ago or may be earlier than that I would feel as if I am invisible to the public and sometimes my face skin flashes more than it should and then after nearly a year now it is like I am invisible again. When I walk in public nowadays, no one even makes an eye contact like they would do earlier. People just ignore me like I am not present there. You may refer an online source to know more about it. Is there any solution to this?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Are you trying to say you are actually invisible or it is just that you are interpreting other people's behavior? How do you know that your skin flashes more? Do you have symptoms such as a feeling that people around are talking about you or discussing you? Well, the symptoms you are expressing are complex but the kind of beliefs you are holding in are more towards a delusional level if at all you actually believe that you are invisible. I think a much more detailed assessment and history by a psychiatrist is required for a correct diagnosis and I think these symptoms can be treated. I would suggest a low-dose tablet of Risperidone probably 1 to 2 mg might be very useful. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.

Thank you.
