Hello
Welcome to HCM

When patient refuse to visit Psychiatric Hospital it results in huge confusion in family members and also to treating doctor. Patient should not be given medicines without his consent if he is adult and with consent of parents if patient is minor. But under certain exceptions if a patient suffering from psychosis or with lack of insight refuse to visit psychiatrist then he can be given some medicine without knowledge to make him compliant to treatment.

Medicine like Olanzapine, Risperidone etc are available in liquid tasteless form and can be given by mixing with food. If you are primary care giver of patient you can consult a good Psychiatrist for expert opinion and prescription. After some time he may become complaint to treatment.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
