Could brain injury cause symptoms from lack oxygen?
human
Daughter born at 35 weeks with apnea and bradycardia stopped breathing for 5-10 minutes in neonatal unit. She's 18 now with voices, hallucinations and compulsions. Antipsychotic meds don't seem to work. Could brain injury cause these symptoms from lack oxygen?

HiThanks for using healthcare magicThere are chances that due to some internal brain problem, she got psychotic symptoms. For that, you can go for MRI brain. In that case, she needs proper dose of antipsychotics. If she is not getting any improvement with current antipsychotic, she can try risperidone or olanzapine for proper management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
