Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,

Your problem is a common one faced while treating someone who is either head of the family or high earning member of family or well settled in society. It is almost impossible to convience them for treatment and mostly they are males. This not only spoils their family life but slowly even their health and social status is affected .

there can be few way out to help them take medicine-
1. As he is a doctor, you can contact some psychiatrist and discuss his case and may be ask him to meet the patient without his knowledge and let him start the treatment which can be added to his food. With passage of time drugs will show effect and he will agree for taking treatment on his own.

2. You can ask someone whom he still trusts and listen to and that person can take him to a psychiatrist and get his treatment moving.

3. Last option is taking help from police. They can take him forcefully to a govt. Setup and get him evaluated and then his meds can be started. This has certain disadvantages that it might jsut spoil his carrier and difficult to go with.

Wish you good luck.
