Lybrate-user: People suffering from schizophrenia should take their medications daily. Occasional use can lead to emergence of symptoms. Clozapine especially is a medication that should only be taken under supervision of a physician with very regular blood work to make sure WBC count (cells that fight infection) are not getting too low.

Neurologist is not at all related to your brother's condition. Taking MRI brain once is not wrong, though it rarely shows some findings. You can consult your psychiatrist and ask for counselling from a clinical psychologist. All the best.
