as to why gfg17 has these symptoms? We didn't notice them when he came home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He now talks non-stop with an urgency to it.
It's really hard on me and husband. We listen and answer gently but honestly it's wearing us both down. We talked with gfg17 several times, attempted to arrange a gentle signal like "shhh" when the talking gets too much -- but he seems completely unaware and unable to cease. We asked him why he feels the need to talk so much and he says he's not anxious, doesn't know why. Just today I'm starting to think he is in a manic phase. (??????)
I hate to mess around with his medications (by calling the psychiatrist) because he had been doing so well. But this doesn't feel right to me.
Any thoughts?
