In parallel, your brother needs a lot of non medical treatment plans including psychotherapy or mindset changes techniques, relaxation techniques, excercise routine, lifestyle changes, dietary changes and regular counseling guidance. In am not sure, how many of these been recommend...more

If you have hallucinations, delusions, social and emotional withdrawal and thought disturbances, you should have schizophrenia. Anxiety and depression are part of schizophrenia. Your psychiatrists' diagnosis is final and let his treat you and please work with your psychiatrist for a cure.
