Dharamsheela, my mother, has schizophrenia. Delusions, hallucinations, disordered thought and speech, and disorganised behaviour are the four sorts of symptoms we experience at home. She does not currently take medication (Sizodon Forte) and only receives a weekly injection of 50 mg of haloperidol decanoate. She only eats in the afternoon with Perkin or Dine.
Delusions, hallucinations, disordered speech, and strange behaviour are some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, and it is crucial to receive therapy on a regular basis to manage these symptoms. Over time, haloperidol decanoate may help lessen symptoms, but depending on their condition, some individuals may also require additional oral medications like Sizodon Forte. Frequent follow-up with a psychiatrist is crucial since symptoms might occasionally worsen due to poor diet, strange behaviour, or quitting medication. Better management of the illness can also be achieved by family support, relaxed conversation, adequate sleep, regular meals, and stress avoidance.
