Dear lybrate-user, Nice to know that your brother recovered 80%. He has to continue Alkepin for life. He has to periodically go for check ups with the psychiatrist for side effect like weight gain, blood counts, diabetes, lipids, etc. Apart from the tablets, he has to slowly start building skills of socialisation, interpersonal communication, work habits, personal grooming, etc. If he is already working, try and talk to his supervisor about his disorder so that they get counselled about his disabilities. Before planning his marriage, discuss with the psychiatrist. He may not come out of it - but he will have better quality of life with these treatment.
