Hello Monaliza,   First let me say I hope you sister recovers soon.   I'm not a doctor and I can't diagnose or treat people, however, I'll tell you this: anyone with schizophrenia could experience symptoms, as far as I know.   If you want to be on the safe side with this answer, get a second opinion from an outside doctor who isn't involved with the hospital treating your sister.  In fact, I urge you to get a second opinion from a doctor.   I have a couple of suggestions.   If your sister has schizophrenia, it is likely she needs to stay on her anti-psychotic, every day as prescribed, and not miss a dose.   Because the anoxic encephalopathy could've been caused by a psych med, it is possible that if the doctor switches her to another drug, things will be better.   Lastly, you need to push this with everyone if you and your family really believe she needs the anti-psychotic.  I'm not sure how effective it would be, but sometimes hospitals have a patient care department that ideally is supposed to investigate these types of things.   Another route you could go is to contact the local newspaper, or a local politician's office.  Sometimes they can intervene, or expose what's going on, at least advise you.   Push, push, push.   Regards, Chri
