Suggest Treatment For Schizophrenia Disease

I am looking for a good Psychiatrist in Kolkata for my brother who has been sufferring from, as diagnosed by different Doctors, Schizophrenia with psychosomatic disorder for last 25 years. All these years he has had different psychiatric medicines but has never attained stability. Recently we changed to a new Doctor who has prescribed Risperdal, Soltus, Olimelt and Dine. These medicines are also not giving him any relief. As is usual with these patients, he goes off-drug for few months intermittently and no amount of coaxing yields result. Thereafter he again relapses and the Doctor changes his medicine. However, for sometime he was slightly better when he was on Sizodon, Pacitane and Lozapine along with some other drugs. But when he was on these drugs he used to sleep for days at a stretch and his regular schedule used to get upset. In all these years we have been to almost 12 Doctors but no one could give him long time relief. Please help.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Schizophrenia is a chronic disorder. In that case, patient would remain on drugs for years. In your case, along with medicine, he needs rehabilitation. Better to find a psychiatrist run rehab center that could help to maintain his activity. In case, you need further help, you can consult me.

Thanks
