How To Determine And Treat Schizophrenia?

hi
i have a relationship with a person who is suffering from schizophernia. I guess it is mild one. since dont see any signs of aggression. that person says very strange things at times. sometimes assures me that she really feels and sometimes so very casual. Won't respond to calls or msgs for days.
I guess it has to do with the problem may be, im ready for whatever it takes to make her feel better n comfortable. i really seek your advice.
Thank you doctor.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you are concerned about your partner who is suffering from Schizophrenia. Now, Scizophrenia is a chronic / relapsing psychotic disorder which usually requires long term medication, called anti-psychotics. The symptoms of this disorder can be varied depending on the type of Scizophrenia and the severity of the illness.

I would suggest that you take her to a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and ensure that she is on appropriate medication. Also, keeping her active and engaged is productive work will help in her overall well-being.
