Schizophrenia
My dad has schizophrenia and he hears people talking in his mind, we had treatment 5 yrs back and he slowly improved with the medication he was using until he stopped his medication and started drinking. Things have become worse and are back to normal unfortunately we were not able to see this change.
My dad is from Andhra and I am looking for doctor who knows telugu so he could communicate with doctor during the treatment, as he is very adamant in terms of meeting doctor and opening up. He is very reluctant in coming for a treatment.
Can someone please suggest me a way to make things back to normal or a good psychiatrist. He used to take Olenzo 5mg medication in the night.
