Hello. To really begin to ask this, I have a friend of mine who's about my age, late adolescence/early adult-hood. I want to know if they have a problem or not. Mental disorders run in their family and their mother was bipolar. For a long time my friend lived in thei delusional made up world that just doesn't exhist, thinking that she was a wolf. Then the idea seemed to dissappear for a while, but she's complained to me several times of this feeling coming back to her and how she can't get rid of it. Like fantasy just pulls her in and she can't shake it off. She tells me that she knows (sometimes) that it isn't real, but she just cant stop the thoughts. She also sees things on occasion that arent there, and she mostly realizes this, mainly because they dissapear quickly, and no one else sees them. Last year, she thought they were spirits trying to talk to her. She also speaks with one voice in her head saying that they are her friend even though she frequently argues with them. During her "lucid" periods she admits to having concern for being crazy, but her family already thinks she is out for attention, and no one believes her. She can hide things really well when she wants to. Please let me know what's wrong and tell me how to help her.
