my schizophrenic mother turns violent on auditory and visual hallucinations please suggest medication
hi it is quite difficult to manage such issues when patient refuses to take the drug however nowadays depot injections are available and their effect lasts up to four weeks so talk to your psychiatrist regarding the injection once she is put on a monthly injection then it will be easier for you to give her a monthly dose this will ensure drug compliance and a better outcome I hope this helps
