Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

He is having OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. OCD is an anxiety disorder and usually patients of OCD remain under distress and they themselves seek treatment for their conditions. OCD is found to be associated with depression also. In some psychotic disorder like in schizophrenia they develop symptoms of OCD. As he is showing anger outbursts, not listening anyone and not getting ready for medicines so as per my opinion he need evaluation. Risperidone is an antipsychotic drug which has some actions in OCD also. The drug in liquid form is tasteless and odourless and can be given to patent even without knowledge. I would advise you to consult his psychiatrist again and start medicine again. Once on medicines he will become compliant to treatment and then you can take him to a psychiatrist.
In OCD commonly SSRIs are used for treatment. In OCD with poor insight or psychotic features anti-psychotics are needed for treatment. In severe cases ECT is needed.

Thanks, hope this helps you.
