My Husband developed Mental Illness during late 2008. He was 31 yrs when he got the illness. He had problems with social interaction, suspects people, absolutely no sleep and all these symptoms were on the higher side. We showed him to a doctor and she started him with Sizodon 1 mg and gradually increased till Sizidon 4mg. After he showed improvement and got stabilised, she gradually decreased and brought back to Sizodon 1mg in 2010. He was absolutely fine till last month, infact during the past couple of years, he was much more sensible than before and very creative and sharp in his ideas. He was shining in his official life too. But suddenly over some months he was not taking the tablets regularly thinking that he is normal and all is well. Then came back the symptoms. Again we had visited the doctor and he is under medication. My Questions: 1. Whether he has to take medication life long? 2. Is it true, that this illness is controllable and not curable? 3. Whether by taking Sizodon 1mg regularly, he can lead a normal life throughout his life span? Thanks, Anita
