I have schizophrenia and I don’t feel like to do regular exercise nowadays. On 29th october 2021 and 1st november 2021, a psychiatrist diagnosed me 3 times with schizophrenia and prescribed me second line of treatment (sizopin – clozapine 25 mg at 7 pm and amisulpride 100 mg - freq. 1 0 2) but I did’t start the allopathic treatment for schizophrenia and opted for natural home remedies, and watching sandeep maheshwari videos for positive affirmations. Is there cure for schizophrenia? Is recovery possible? Does medicines useful for schizophrenia? If yes, then which one? Ayurveda/unani, homoeopathy, or allopathic? If no, then what about psychological counselling? Many schizophrenia patients are taking antipsychotic medicines for 10 – 12 years but not relief. Any comment on this? I think medicines alone cannot treat schizophrenia because medicines cannot alter behaviour. Is schizophrenia a lifelong mental health issue? What are the causes of schizophrenia so that the root cause treatment can be find out? Clinical psychologist advised me not to watch negative programs like c.i.d, crime patrol and saavdhaan india. Which foods should be avoid in schizophrenia case patient? What should a schizophrenic person do to improve his/her condition? I am 22 years old male as of 2021. So am I too young to diagnose with schizophrenia? Why there are no lab tests to diagnose schizophrenia? Why so many doctors’ perspective/opinion about schizophrenia differ? Why some of the antipsychotic medicines for schizophrenia banned in some places? Is there a high chance of suicide for schizophrenia patients after the treatment because after the treatment, they may feel guilty and thus prone to suicide? Am I right or am I right? At the most, what will happen to a schizophrenic people who is not receiving allopathic treatment? Awaiting your reply. Thank you. Regards, xavier siby moorkattil (extc engineering student at x.i.e. College, mumbai)

Dear Shaik,
All your symptoms are symptoms of schizophrenia. In schizophrenia, there is dopamine deficiency. All the tablets that you have taken are to correct that deficiency. May be because of the tablets you don't have positive symptoms. Negative symptoms need to be treated with psychosocial methods. Unfortunately you may be having treatment resistant schizophrenia. How much clozapine for how long you have taken? Talk to your doctor on effective dose of clozapine and psychosocial rehabili...more

yes amisulpride is the drug of choice for negative symptoms, but it may not act for many also.In that case it has to be judiciously used with other medications and attempted to bring the negative symptoms under control.

Dear,
all your daughter's behaviour are due to schizophrenia. Some persons like your daughter becomes treatment resistant. So clozapine is prescribed. The psychiatrist will increase clozapine slowly to the required dose. Cbt can be add on but not the sole treatment. It needs a series of regular homeworks. Your daughter may not be capable of doing them at the present situation. Ect will be added if she becomes suicidal, not now when she is attending college. Meditation will not be of any hel...more

Dear user
anxiety and depression can best be treated successfully if along with medicines, you also take counseling. Medicines alone will not be fully effective. Our distorted thoughts are the root cause of stress, anxiety, depression. Counseling take care of our distorted thoughts and helps you to focus on the positives in your life. So, you should seek counseling for better results.

Dear Mr. Dhawan, Any particular molecule cant be claimed as superior as response varies from person to person. One agent that is good for a particular person may not work that well for other. However, clozapine is one molecule that is considered superior to all others in resistant cases and is generally given when other medicines fail. Partial agonists such as aripiprazole have a less side effects but sometimes efficacy is found wanting. Your patient will need evaluation and appropriate suggesti...more

People with disorganized schizophrenia often use the same treatments as those with other types of schizophrenia: medication and counselling or therapy. The most common medication used to treat schizophrenia is an antipsychotic medication. There is no clear antipsychotic drug of choice for schizophrenia. Clozapine is the most effective medication but is not recommended as first-line therapy because it has a high burden of adverse effects, requires regular blood work, and has not outperformed othe...more

Amisulpride, clozapine and certain newer antipsychotics on a particular dosage can act on negative symptoms, which varies between every individual. Combining with psycho-social rehabilitation helps mostly, else medicines alone cannot give full benefits. Despite these sometimes there is no improvement in few.
