My mother is getting treated with schizophrenia, under medication for over 3 years, earlier was treated for depression in Lucknow. The belief of somebody guiding her within is still there like someone is telling when to talk when not to how to do a task where you sit who should sit next to you etc and by doing that thing will be OK. No destructive or self harming activities, also she have developed some facial disorientation like lower lips is more stretched towards left, like incase of facial paralysis. This happened after I got her treated at Nimhans (although renowned hospital but most of the time you need to consult junior doctors). Now consulting at cadbams. Any suggestion of providing her best treatment will be a great help. As this is effecting our entire family.

Hi, I can understand your feelings. I would suggest you to enroll your mother in any day care center which have some kind of vocational activities. If it is not possible to find a centre like this in your city then please take help of a psychotherapist who can come to your house 2-3 days in a week and counsel your mother and suggest her some activities. As for facial disorientation please ask her psychiatrist as this might be a side effect of some medicine. He may change that medicine. It is very important for a schizophrenic patient to keep her busy mentally as well as physically. Wish you all the best.
