what are the proper step do I take to help my brother find the proper treatment for schizophrenia?
My brother has been diagnosed with shizophrenia for 8 years now. Since that day he has not been taking his medication like he should. When he feels better he stops taking his medication. He has lots of outburst ranging from wanting to stab his us(his family members, friends and strangers) to wanting to hurt his self. He has admitted to wanting help but wont sign his self into a clinic to get the proper treatment he is in desparte need of. I fear that he is going to do something he is going to regret. What can I do to help him be the better person he wants to be?
Hello a sister who cares,
I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Unfortunately sometimes it is difficult to force a family member to do anything. The best thing to do is to be supportive, no matter what crazy stuff he does. However there are some really smart people posting on this website with different perspectives. Many of them are from people who have schizophrenia themselves. The shareposts will help you get a very good insight into what your brother might be going through. If you can find out what the other bloggers on this website wanted from their family, then you might know how to act towards your brother specifically.
I hope this was helpful
