Excessive fear of rabies
My mom got bitten by our pet dog 20 days ago and as the wound was bleeding she took immunoglobulin and ARV. Our dog is Vaccinatinted yearly and he is 2.5yr old. The very next day as I was playing with him I got a scratch and usually this happens every time. But this time i dont know as I researched too much about rabies , it got scared. I didn't took any vaccine and the incident happened 18-19 days ago. Our dog is healthy and fine. But now it's like I'm always scared. Reading the symptoms of rabies arouse my fear towards the disease and everyday I get a scratch from our dog without any bleeding but just the area get red after it disappear when I was with soap. Iam scared already iam phobic to deadly disease and i have anxiety and i take tablet for the same. Now I feel like lump in a throat and unable to sleep and in distress. What should I do? I read a lot about rabies death now a days i google a lot and this is making my extra feared and iam unable to control my anxiety.

Suffering from OCD
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.

Schizophrenia
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.
