My sister had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and mood disorder. She was very aggressive initially and got electric shocks 3 times in the hospital. Later medications helped her to calm down. But all this took 25 years. At present her treatment is being continued but still she is not a social person. She does not come out of the house, does not speak that much and does things as per her wish. Somebody suggested me to appoint a counselor/psychologist for her who can visit home, interact and bring her out of her confined space. Kindly, suggest what shall I do?
