My sister has been sick of schizophrenia since 1992. It's very devastating to my family to see her waste her life. Her medications have been helping her get better but very unproductive. She has been taking 2 kinds of medicine, one is antipsychotic and the other anti parkinson, to counter the side effects of the antipsychotic medicine. I love my sister so much but every time her dellusions take place, I couldn't help but get frustrated. She thinks she is a saint and sometimes Mary, the mother of Jesus and she would name my eldest son as God the Father and my baby as Jesus. It is pathetic and very annoying. Her psychiatrist told us that she would be taking her medicines for life. Is there a cure for this illness? I need all the help I could get.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister's situation, i never heard about that kind of sickness. I think the better way of helping her is to understand her situation. she doesn't know what she is doing sometimes, but i think you have to let her have a regular check up to the best doctor, because there may be some possibilities that these would cure totally.

saw the movie too... everytime my sister gets back to her real world, we would often watch the movie together. but when she gets sick again, she forgets everything and go back to believing in her hallucinations... My family has been very understanding to her and tolerant. I am hoping that one day there would be a medical breakthough that treats patients with this illness completely.

Every sisters sacrifice is for the good of their siblings. She must be luck enough to have you as a sister for you did not give up on her even if you get frustrated. Science may say that there is no cure but miracles can happen. God has a reason for everything why He let it happen to your family for all of us has a problem that is within our capacity its only up to us how to deal with it. They are the so called spices of life. Just have faith & believe.

I guess the best thing to do for now is leave everything to God. We have never given up in supporting her the best we could in terms of giving her the right medication. Thanks for your thoughts!!
