Hi,
The symptoms you have described are consistent with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. This disorder usually responds well to treatment but you will need to find a good psychiatrist and ensure that the patient follows up regularly with the doctor. Oleanz and risperidone are both used to treat this disorder, but only one of the two given in adequate dose may be enough. Oleanz is also known to cause weight gain.
Best wishes.
