Thankyou so much, he needs life long treatment as he got this problem from 15 years.
Is it possible to recover, can he marry? how he can improve himself,
The main problem : he thinks everybody knows about him whatever he is doing and they are answering them..only this is the problem. If we say whatever you are thinking nobody does not know, how other can understand, he will even you know about me.
Please suggest, he is young he do not have anybody, he is not working, even money problem, please suggest how he can improve and live like others in this world.

He needs to be on medications.
Generally, patients with schizophrenia respond to one medication, but they may be resistant at times. So they may need a trial with another one. We have no sure shot way of predicting which one medication will work for your brother. If he does not respond to two or more medications then he will be put on a medication that is used in resistant cases and will have probably more side-effects.
Kindly let me know the treatment details so that I can tell you if it is time to review at NIMHANS for a possible change of treatment.

Do continue to be on follow-up at NIMHANS. Stopping the medications will only worsen symptoms.
Also, the biggest myth is that marriage will cure the disease, it is also not true. But it is for the family to decide about it. Best is to wait until symptoms are controlled for 1 year or more.

Hi,
thanks for using health care magic.
i have gone through your available history.
persistence of symptoms in your brother can be because of following:
1) non -compliance to treatment which is frequent in schizophrenic patients
2) Inadequate dosages of drugs
3) truly resistant schizophrenia
In any case You should consult Psychiatrist.
In a non-compliance scenario, He may be benefited by Long acting injectable anti psychotic drugs or counselling.
In second case, Adequate dosages has to be given.
In third case Elecetro-convulsive therapy (ECT) or drugs like clozapine may be of some help.
I hope he will be fine soon.
thanks
