Hello,
The symptoms suggest that your brother is suffering from
psychotic disorder, most probably
schizophrenia -paranoid type. He needs urgent psychiatric care and without meds he will only deteriorate. I can not understand why he was never shown to a
psychiatrist till now when the symptoms have been so bothering for everyone around??
Please meet a psychiatrist and get the meds (drug like
olanzapine or resperidone). He will show great improvements with treatment, far of what you can even think right now.
Such patient do not agree for medicines or even to visit a psychiatrist easily, they are usually taken forcefully for initial few visits. There are several preparations available in market for antipsychotics drugs - oral tablet, or liquid formulations (which are tasteless and colourless & can be mixed in food) , sprinkles sachets...once the patient start showing improvement, he usually agrees for oral tablets himself.
There are also depot antipsychotics available which are given once in 7-15 days or even once a month preparation are there .With these injections there is no necessity to give daily meds.
Please discuss his case with a psychiatrist or may be your GP and start the treatment..there is no other way to make him good...he needs medicines.
And, he is not antisocial, he is suffering from a psychiatric condition and which is far beyond trying to explain or make him understand,..... please understand the difference. He will become social once his
thought disorder improves.
wish you good health
please feel free to ask more questions regarding this.
