M y elder brother lives in Jharkhand and I live in Assam. He has been
diagnosed with schizophrenia. After taking the medicines, his body started to
crumble and his head feels very heavy always. He disbelieves everyone around
him, he can‘t sleep without the medicines and he gets annoyed for no reason.
He also talks, laughs and claps for no reason even when nobody is around him.
My father passed away in 2006 and my mother is the only person who is
staying with my brother and taking care of him. I am not able to do anything.
He had cleared the JEE entrance exam and also qualified for taking admission
into a BPharma course but his mental illness overpowered everything. We, the
family members, could not do anything. He is now around 41 years of age and
doing nothing but smoking cigarettes, harassing my mother and giving pain to
himself and others.
