Hello. My mother is suffering from mental illness. I learnt that she is suffering from Schizophrenia. She is unable to judge between what is real and what Isn't. Its getting serious day by day. She is very rigid and is opposing to consult any doctor. I'm afraid that she does anything against herself if we forcefully take her to the doctor Please help me and suggest what to do? I'm looking for good medical treatment in Hyderabad. Thank you.

Most people who are unwell with serious illnesses like schizophrenia do not admit to their sickness. This is a difficult task to convince her but you can invite some therapists and even doctors to visit home, as friends and they can initiate the therapy in their own style. The other option is to visit the doctor and describe the behavioral symptoms and that person will prescribe the medication that can be mixed with her food without her knowledge. After that, she may become more amenable and may be willing to visit the doctor. Ideally, she must be under both kinds of therapy to get the maximum benefits. This is a lifelong condition but it can be treated to make the person functional and stabilized. Initially, there will some hiccups until the medication takes effect and the optimum dosage is identified. It is a long and arduous task but if you persevere and give her all the support, you will get some pleasant results. Please find someone in Hyderabad who is known to treat schizophrenia.
