Hi My sister is diagnosed with schizophrenia/bipolar disorder and does not take medicines.We have tried to give her medicines by dissolving them in water, milk but she recognizes the taste and also the sleepiness & other effects that medicines have.We face difficulty in giving her medicines as many a times she just keeps throwing stuff doubting it to be having medicines-in fact she says that we give her drugs & is very angry about it.
