Schizophrenic
Hey my brother is a schizophrenic and was diagnosed 2 years ago. It’s really challenging and changed our whole lives. Sometimes my mom and me feel overwhelmed because it’s really hard to get him to take his meds. Does anybody have advice ?
It sounds like you're dealing with a lot, and it's understandable to feel overwhelmed. Your brother’s condition is not only hard for him but also for those who care for him. Medication adherence can be one of the toughest parts because sometimes the person might not recognize they need the medication or they might dislike the side effects. Open communication with your brother is crucial. Try to understand his perspective on taking the medication and see if there are any particular reasons why he’s resistant. Sometimes, understanding his viewpoint can help in finding a compromise or a solution that works for everyone.
