Default My brother

Hi all

I did not see his part about schizophrenia

My brother has conic schizophrenia his 50 and my mother has AZ

I care for my mother at home who has AZ and for the past year my brother is living alone in low level housing support , I find the hardest in caring is for my brother as he keep turning to Weed when he is under stress , which give him a lot of negative symptoms, not washing lot of self neglect.

I control his money & find that If I give him to much he spend it on drink , weed .

I don't know what I am asking , just support in trying to understand , he does have a 2 week injection of modicate ( spelling maybe wrong ).

They have tried him on other medication , but has not work his been on this medication for the past 25 years .

when he keep of the street drugs his fine . Since I have been caring for him. I do see a patten of when the stress hits him he turn to this street drug .

He use to live with my mother father , but when my father dies 5 years ago , year later mum was told she had AZ , so I ended up caring for both of them
