Psychiatrist 's  Response
hello

welcome to health care magic

In case the patient is not willing to take medication.........there are various choices of treatments like depot injections (required fortnightly), antipsychotic liquid preparations etc. You can also consider admission of the patient. Try consulting your psychiatrist for proper choice of treatment. Once she is stabilised, she will start taking treatment on her own.
Hope it helps
Good Luck
Thanks
