Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are quite worried about your dad. From the description of his symptoms it appears that he may be suffering from a chronic psychotic disorder like Schizophrenia.
Sizodon (Risperidone) is an anti-psychotic medication which is used for treating psychotic disorders. It is usually effective in controlling psychotic symptoms like hallucinations.
I would suggest that you take your dad to a psychiatrist in order to have a proper evaluation so that the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment can be initiated.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
Consultant Psychiatrist
