It is completely understandable to feel frustrated, but ten days is a very short time. Medications like Lurasid (lurasidone) and Vilazine (vilazodone) typically take four to six weeks to reach their full therapeutic effect. While slight improvement in ten days is a positive sign, your symptoms of extreme anger, unwanted thoughts, and paranoia are serious. You should not adjust your dosage or change your medications on your own, as this can worsen your condition. Please contact your psychiatrist immediately to report these symptoms. They will evaluate whether you need a dosage adjustment or a change in treatment safely.

Global developmental delay means a child is developing skills such as walking, speaking, learning, or performing daily activities more slowly than expected for their age. The most effective treatment is usually early and consistent therapy rather than a specific medicine. Children who have difficulty walking often benefit from physiotherapy to improve strength, balance, and movement, while speech therapy can help with language, communication, and feeding difficulties. Occupational therapy may also improve daily activities, hand skills, and independence. A pediatric neurologist or developmental paediatrician may recommend tests to identify the underlying cause, such as genetic conditions, hearing problems, vision issues, nutritional deficiencies, or neurological disorders. Treatment of any underlying condition may further support development. Regular therapy sessions, structured learning activities, play-based exercises, and active family involvement can significantly improve progress over time. Please continue follow-up with your child's specialists and do not delay therapy, as early intervention often provides the best chance for improvement in development and daily functioning.

If a child keeps having seizures, it can sometimes affect their learning, communication, behaviour, and physical growth. Having seizures every month can put extra stress on a child?s developing brain, especially if the seizures last a long time, are severe, or do not respond well to treatment. Some children may take longer to develop speech, understanding, school skills, or social abilities compared to others their age. The good news is that early medical care and supportive therapies can help many children make progress over time. A pediatric neurologist can check if the seizures are related to a brain condition, genetic problem, birth complication, or metabolic disorder. Based on what they find, treatment might include anti-seizure medicine, developmental therapy, physiotherapy, speech training, or behavioural support. Daily routines are important too. Getting enough sleep, taking medication on time, eating healthy foods, and avoiding triggers can help control seizures. Keeping a diary of how often seizures occur and how long they last can help doctors adjust treatment. Get medical help right away if seizures last a long time, happen many times close together, cause injury, or if your child suddenly loses skills or awareness.
