Hello Reader, Schizophrenia is a complex illness that requires personalised care including Rehabilitation and Inpatient care. Approximately 20% of patients do not respond to standard dose of treatment.

In case of schizophrenia there is need of patience because it takes a longer to adjust the doses of drugs. Most important thing is to assure compliance to medications, if possible supervised medications are advised. It is best to consult (and advisable) in presence of patient.

Yes a video consultation can definitely be arranged. Treatment can be started on outpatient basis or after admission depending on severity of symptoms. Costs depend on whether your brother requires admission at the moment or not.

It can be done if your brother is also willing to consult and is receptive for treatment. Good luck.

Hi

Hi... Need further history regarding your brother's condition. Like the duration of illness, type of symptoms, medication and doses tried , compliance to medicines etc. You can take a consultation and discuss the same.

Well you can try online consultation once if he is behaviourally stable. Mostly for schizophrenia offline consultations are preferred, as psychiatrist has to do proper examination of patients and after medicine also we have to monitor that he doesn’t have any side effects.. But yes you can try online consultation if nothing is working and that’s the only option available.. His previous medication will be reviewed in session along with his symptoms profile over last 5 years and based on that new medication will get started.. Costs of consultation are very starting from 200-1000Rs depending on different consultant. Newer advanced medication are also available which we can try to him..

He might need some professional help like Athena rehab Maybe you can connect with him
