Dear I understand that schiziphrenia can be a challenging situation for the patient and especially for the caretakers. It is understandable to feel anxious about your mother's medication and treatment, but it is important to remember that with proper management and support, individuals with schizophrenics can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. I would encourage you to continue to seek professional guidance and support to ensure the best possible outcomes for your mother's mental health. In case of medication I would recommend that you follow the psychiatrist's direction and follow the guidlines as he/she would be the best person to give thier opinion on the case given that they would know the depth and intensity of the case. It is important to understand that schizophrenia is a chronic condition, and medication is usually necessary to manage the symptoms effectively. It is not uncommon for individuals with schizophrenia to resist taking medication, and this can be a challenging aspect of treatment for both the individual and their loved ones. Regarding your question about when your mother can go with only injection without any pills, it is difficult to give a definite answer as every individual's response to medication is different. Your mother's doctor is in the best position to assess her progress and determine when it is safe to reduce or eliminate her pill medication. It is essential to follow their guidance and not make any changes to the treatment plan without consulting them first. As a caregiver for someone with schizophrenia, it can be challenging to see your loved one experience symptoms and struggle with daily life. Here are some holistic things you can do to help support them: educating yourself about schizophrenia can help you better understand what your loved one is going through and how to best support them. You can read books, attend support groups, or speak with their doctor. Encourage your loved one to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. These habits can help improve their mental health and overall well-being. Isolation can be common for individuals with schizophrenia, so encourage your loved one to participate in social activities, such as joining a support group or volunteering. This can help them build meaningful connections and feel less alone. Create a safe and supportive environment for your loved one. Make sure they have access to their medication and are taking it as prescribed. Encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings and listen without judgment. Creative expression, such as art, music, or writing, can be a helpful tool for individuals with schizophrenia to express themselves and cope with their symptoms. Encourage your loved one to explore different forms of creative expression. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing, can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Encourage your loved one to try these practices, or practice them together. Caring for someone with schizophrenia can be stressful and overwhelming. Don't hesitate to seek support for yourself, such as attending a support group or speaking with a therapist. Taking care of your own mental health can help you better support your loved one. Additionally, it is important to support your mother's mental health beyond medication. Encourage her to engage in activities that promote relaxation and stress reduction, such as meditation, deep breathing, and regular exercise. A healthy diet, adequate sleep, and a positive social support network can also benefit her mental health.

It's rare for parkinson's disease to be passed down from parent to child. Most cases of parkinson's aren't hereditary. But people who get early-onset parkinson's disease are more likely to have inherited it. Having a family history of parkinson's disease may increase the risk that you'll get it. There are some long term ayurvedic solutions but needed to be taken consistently. These are safe, effective and economic. Pl consult.

Hello- just like physical and mental health, sexual health is also of great importance. Both men and women suffer from sexual problems but they are embarrassed to even discuss it freely, leave alone visit the doctor. Proper medicines along with proper lifestyle habits can solve the problem and help in leading a healthy sexual life. Persons suffering from metabolic disorders must be treated with a different approach. Modern medicines are not effective in sexual weakness if the patient is suffering from any metabolic disease like diabetes, hypertension etc. Only ayurveda has an answer (and specialised medicines) which can boost up sex life of persons suffering from serious metabolic disorders.
