Mental Health

Actually i got accidently hit in my head by an iron rod very hard nearly 5 months ago. I became unconscious for few seconds and then i back to normal after 4-5 minutes. Then i searched in google about head injury and there it is written as " People who get head injury, should avoid sleep because if they sleep then they might go into coma and all etc etc.So , I have got a fear to sleep and being unable to sleep for nearly 2 months.So I decided to do a ct scan of brain in order to check if everything is all right. The report is normal.The doctor said that I am okay. But, since i was having fear to sleep for about 2 months so it became a habit and despite of doctors being telling me that your brain is ok ......I am unable to sleep due to the fear of dying in coma.So, now also I am unable to sleep due to this fear and that is why it is affecting my mental as well as physical health.My doctor told me that it is a part of ocd.Does it is really ocd? Please help me out...I am helpless.

My brother wad diagnosed with symptoms of schizophrenia last month. Doctor prescribed him an anti psychotic drug to reduce his delusions but he is not consuming those medicines. Please note that the he still lives at home with my mother and the area we live in doesn't have any good psychiatric facilities. We found a doctor nearest to our home but if we want to take a second opinion there aren't any other options available. Doctor also suggested to admit him but he is completely uncooperative and would not agree to it. We are in a really helpless situation. Could someone please guide us on how to navigate this situation. What treatment should we get for him. What will be the best course of action. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Should I visit a psychiatrist for first time? Does it require physical exam also? Or any  health test ? I want to consult a doctor for PE and ED symptoms which I have been experiencing from long time now. Earlier I thought may be due to starting phase but again and again and again... 2-3 years happened to this thing.
