Hi Doctor, My brother has some mental issues, he is behaving very differently, he eats too much and he has become so lazy, whenever my Mom ask him to do job he would say I'm not born to you if needed we can go for DNA test, this is how he's responding. But he does all other things like going out, withdrawing money from ATM. He had similar issue 4 years back but we used medicines and got recovered in 1 year time. And recently we lost my father with this he started behaving like this from 5 months. We are using same medicines again but situation is coming to control, please suggest what to do. Can we give shock treatment to treat this or admit him in hospital for few days, even counseling is not helping us to bring him to normal. Please suggest.
