M y in-laws have not allowed my husband to meet with a therapist or a

doctor and instead, they have made him addicted to drugs for his
schizophrenia. They keep forcing him to file for a divorce since they disagree
with my suggestions for his treatment and rehabilitation. I really hope that I
can help my husband.

M y brother has schizophrenia and I think it is because of the controlling

nature of our father. Our father has imposed his thoughts on us for so many
things, including how many times we should go to the washroom. I hope this

tells you how controlling he is.

My father took my brother to a doctor and narrated all wrong symptoms. The

medicine made my brother sleep for long hours and didn‘t help the
schizophrenia at all. I feel very bad when others including my own relatives
call my brother ‗mad‘. I want to help him with his rehabilitation so that he can
live with respect.

M y 50-year-old brother has been suffering from schizophrenia since his

childhood. His illness worsens by the day. We have taken him to many
hospitals but nothing has helped. We are losing hope now.
