According to the symptoms, its Schizophrenia the doctor of here said.
Can it be caused by drugs? Or depression?
He said that he had taken drug (but before 4 months, not nearly now) and only weed, he used to smoke aso.
But also he was not sharp from the beginning, he would thino too much in inappropriate reasons what we used to think as the simplest thing to be thought. He had lost his father last year. And as i said, he is too emotional on little things to become upset.

I understand your concern towards your brother. Schizophrenia like psychosis may be precipitated due to a wide variety of causes ranging from drug / weed use, recent stress like loss of father or premorbidly schizoid type of personality. All of which he seem to have. However it is unclear whether he has any other symptoms along with being emotionally upset easily. If so some counselling sessions also might be useful for him along with medications. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for online assistance. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is also available.
