Schizophrenic
Hello, is there any home treatment for schizophrenic patient? As my mother is not willing to attend the doctor for further treatments. Also shes sure that it's not gonna help to control thoughts and even feels that if she talks to doctor, doctor will judge her and will list her as a crazy person. Need help how I can convince her to visit doctor or atleast start some treatments at home. Thank you

Along with diagnosis and medication by a psychiatrist, you can consider psychotherapy for her from a psychologist that can be received at home via video based sessions.

Treatment of Schizophrenia involves taking oral medications which can be taken at home. Complete evaluation is required to diagnose patient which involves taking full history that can be done by online consultation from the comfort of your home.

People get diagnosed with mental illness, they are not 'mentally ill' or 'crazy' just like people get diagnosed with a physical illness like diabetes or hypertension.
