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.

Hello
I appreciate your concern for your brother.
If he's not taking medications you can give dispersible forms with food, but we need to assess him first so that the appropriate dose can be assessed.
