Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hello there, as you have mentioned your brother is suffering from schizophrenia since almost 20 years now and this illness definitely requires life long psychiatric treatment. So I suggest you to take your brother to a psychiatrist as early as possible. He required good dose of antipsychotics, long acting depot injection and some supportive therapy. All the best.
