Hi.
I understand your concern.
Schizophrenia need extensive treatment.
If she is not responding with drug then indoor treatment is good alternative.
Indoor treatment set up will give alternative therapy like injection or ECT.
Combination of medicines with different group can also help.
But before that proper evaluation of diagnosis is must.
Consult best psychiatrist and get help.
Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Take care.
