My mother is going through psychotic illness and she has been treating for 20 years , she had ECT also ,
So now the symptoms
She dont have any video hallucinations
She has audio hallucination ( someone is saying that her relative has died like this )
As far as delusion concern , she has a strong belief that in news channel anchor will give our family lots of money ,so she used to see news channels , and she dont hear anything from news anchor but she feels like we are listening that anchor will give us money ,uff
So basically she only feels ,
& She also think that we can see god krishna , and she can only feel her presence but cant see him ( it is like a shadow or feeling only )
She can see duplicate photos , like she can see anyone's photo from anywhere ,( she feels that there is another same person standing like a photo )
But again no video hallucination , so mostly delusion,she is taking sodium vaproate 500 mg, lithium carbonate, risperidone & trihexyphendyl

Dear Ms Schizophrenia is a life time illness where symptoms come and go. The prognosis of it depends upon the type of schizophrenia. The treatment has to be individualized and revised from time to time according to change in patients symptoms and behavior. I would recommend revision in her medicines along with some psychotherapy for her delusions. There is also need to assess her daily activity levels and if required she needs to be engaged actively in some activities.
