Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your history.

Many times Psychiatric ill patients do not have insight regarding their condition and hence , they are not willing to come for consultation.

You should consult your psychiatrist for him as a proxy and can narrate all the history. There are some medicines available which can be given without knowledge of patients. Your psychiatrist may advise to go for these medicines.

Gradually as soon as patient recover, you may try to counsel him to consult the doctor.

Insight oriented psychotherapy may be needed to make him realize about his illness.

Thanks.
