Even if you have read about the symptoms please visit a doctor who can help determine whether your assessment is accurate or not. The view and ability a professional has cannot be underrated and that person is specifically qualified to give you a more accurate diagnosis. Relying on your assumption may mislead the whole therapy. It will really help you to meet with a doctor, please.

Dear thanks for asking your querry here. You concern is genuine. For psychosis the dose of risperidone is less. But the dose of fludac for ocd is ok. I am not aware about current psychotic symptoms of your brother. If still he has delusion or hallucoinations, you may ask for a review by his psychiatrist who may consider increasing the dose of risperidone.

This is a very serious condition but can be treated with both counseling and medication. The therapy will need to be very intense and long term. The medical consultation may be intermittent but the one-to-one counseling will be very demanding on both the professional and the counselee and must be pursued until the end. Apart from this there has to be adequate family investment of time, patience, money, and energy; and all of this must be done with utmost love. The MPD identifies with several per...more
