There's a higher power.
Before the hypotheses and all, there was an influence.
Something influenced the genes.
I have been using drugs on my elder brother to soothe him but if yhe drugs were the solution, it ought to have quelled the whole thing but it hasn't, maybe because it isn't targeting the cause but the effect.

And the reason you see me going the spiritual way is because I have been thinking about the fact that we will have our own children in future, do we continue with drugs should they have this same challenge?

I just want to put an end to it by God's grace for future sake.


Stress might have caused it. It's a wild guess, but I suspect this, considering the fact the conditions your mother had your siblings stress might have triggered the episode of schizophrenia. Mental stress. You don't think it might have to do with genetics, it might have been there along, but too much stress triggered this. You need to watch yourself too, don't think it too much sis. Honestly, it's very difficult not to do, considering the embarrassment this caused for your family. But you need not stress yourself, maybe you should continue with the medications, and have him under therapy, unfortunately those are luxuries here in this part of the world. But if you can have someone devote their time for them, their may be some improvement. My heartfelt concern, I wish them speedy recovery.

I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.
Apparently, you haven't been taking him to the hospital for follow up.
Take him to any psychiatric clinic of a FMC or Teaching Hospital.
They will likely change his medications from time from time to time till they get the one he will be stable on.
There is nothing spiritual here,you have a positive family history(mother) of mental illness.

Go to a neuropsychiatric hospital. Please. Don't go anywhere else.

It will take time, it would cost money, but that is the place they can get some good treatment. Accept no subsititues.

cast out that devil from your family in the Name of Jesus. The devil will flee. This is not normal don't think you can use medical science on this. If you don't cast out that devils he will not stop.

The Bible says these signs shall follow them that believe, In my name, they shall cast our devils.

Note that it didn't say these signs shall follow them that have huge faith. It simply means, even a baby that believes can cast out the biggest devil.

Do this brother, take charge of your home

Your family needs deliverance. This is a spiritual disease. Can you visit an MFM church and ask for the RO, then give him all the details. No need going with your brothers, you might be the one to stand in gap for your entire family.

After reading your first paragraph, I already knew the problem was schizophrenia. Don't stress your self going from one place to the other, many people will tell you they have got the cure but they are all out to dupe and scam you. You are even lucky you found out it was schizophrenia on time. Though I understand those medications can be very expensive especially now inflation is high, but just place them on medication for now don't slack cause once they look stabilized and you stop the medication they will relapse. That sickness don't have any cure medically. Even if you are looking for spiritual cure don't ever stop with the medication especially that injection. The biggest challenge you will be having is for them to accept they have a problem.. Once they can accept this fact and take the medication on their own then the problem will become insignificant to a reasonable extent.

Exactly.

If it is true that so mny mad people are being cured in winners chapel, everyone would know about it..

You don't need to lie to promote your church. Your church is not a psychiatric hospital and it is irresponsible to suggest that any mad person be taking there for healing.

I said so many testimonies of such has happened in Winners chapel.
I'm not promoting my church mind u, I'm profiling a solution to her.
I don't need to exchange words with u bcuz u are not d person in need of help.
If she goes to Winners chapel nd receive healing for his brothers, is it not her family that will enjoy it.
With everything they have administered to him in d hospital has he gotten any better?
I'm telling her what I think she should do... So Don't ever come to my quote section anymore.

Thanks.
My elder brother admits his fault whenever he's calm. He apologises.
He knows something is wrong but still will put up a fight when the nurse comes with the injection. So knowing something is wrong is not enough because when the issue starts, he usually won't know something is wrong again instead he becomes defensive.
My true concern is our future.
They are young and can't remain like this.
They have to fend for themselves but not with this condition and dependence on drugs.
So, I just want the root of the matter sorted out.

My dear, I'm sorry to keep it real ...we have someone like this in my family. Truth is, I haven't seen someone with a mental health issue get cured and become useful to society. It only gets worse. I also doubt if they can ever fend themselves ..many they can get married...but work, e go hard... they must always be monitored ..

She was prayed for but...,

So since then, we never went back.

Nne you sound educated. I know these are desperate times but don’t allow people to talk you into going from frying pan to fire.

There are things that we have to accept no matter how uncomfortable, there are realities you can’t change. You can’t change your genotype for example, same as other genetic factors. Take your brother to Nawfia, you will get all the help you need there.

With the knowledge that schizophrenia may be hereditary in your family (mine is diabetes, there’s no shame in that), when you start your own family, make sure that your children gets diagnosed early enough by professionals and If they are schizophrenic, the necessary medical intervention taken to forestall any manifestations. Like your mom said, you guys will be alright.

CandyOps:
It's like you want your brothers to go COMPLETELY MAD abi??

You already have proof that medications work to an extent on your younger brother abi? Which other solution do you seek alert from what works already??!

The moment you carry that man into a spiritual home is the moment his madness will go into gear 4.

And deep down inside you, you already know the source of the problem. IT IS HEREDITARY! A.K.A in your blood.

Hello!! You mean to say you went through school and the words 'genetics' never sunk into your head?!

....

You see religion and superstition is really killing African growth. How can a fully grown university educated man seek health solutions from any other place outside a health facility??

And before u start quoting me, just know I also have a cousin who is mentally unstable and suffers from schizophrenia too.

My neighbor had a burst vein in his head from High BP complications and his illiterate mom rushed him to a spiritual home where he went into coma during their spiritual razzmatazz.

Before her head correct it's too late. Nigga was DOA by the time they got to the hospital.

In fact, I believe any religious home that takes on the role of a healthcare provider should be sued and probably even shut down.

...

Here is how the scientific process works:

- You encounter a problem.
- You make guesses/assumptions to what the solution could be & ask questions to the cause of the prob.
- You make guesses using the answers you got. Called a hypothesis. This guess should be something testable. Meaning anyone can replicate the tests.
- Make a prediction from the answers you get
- Now you run some tests on that hypothesis (usually trial and errors while noting what works)
- You come up with more hypothesis
- You know what works to an extent (in your case, drugs) which leads you to making a clearer prediction.

- you test again till you come up with a theory of how to go about such issues in future...

....


Now, over the thousands of years mankind and modern humans have literally done almost all these testing for us and we only have to improve on it. But NO! Not an African man.

An African man will encounter a problem and instead of following the scientific step, he will immediately say to himself, "I need to talk to God about this" or worse, "it looks spiritual. I can't do anything about it if God doesn't do anything about it"

... And just in that moment, all the creative ideas and potential discoveries that could have been made will be cut short!

.....


You see, when we cry over the dangers of superstition in Africa and how it is underdeveloping us Christians and other religious folks will rather put the devil on you by calling Atheist or Apethists (people who don't care about deities) devil worshipers than see reasons with us.

I mean, just imagine what an adult who passed through the 4 walls of a classroom is saying. It's deeper than just getting school knowledge and I don't blame anyone because it is a result of hundreds of years of torture and slavery by the white people who brought on this scam called religion to us

(Don't mistake religion for spirituality or spiritism)

Africans pls plssss stop bowing to the ducking skies and learn to use your heads

The damaging effects of religion is not just found in our healthcare system. It's everywhere. Most especially in our minds. Slavery ducked us up real good. But then we keep ducking ourselves everyday by choosing to remain in the slavery

It's like what Kanye West said in an interview on TMZ that went viral. "400 years of slavery seemed like a choice"

Sorry I'm coming off as harsh but pls I beg you in the name of anything you believe in, DO NOT STEP ONE FOOT into ANY religious home. Well, except you want to dump your bro there for the worse.

And the funny thing is this:

When you let a super-religious person in on the TRUTH about their bullshit they'll always go through these stages:

1. Denial or Ridicule (they deny it or Ridicule it/you)

2. Rejection [they reject it entirely and will become violent towards the source of the information (you) ]

3. Acceptance (they finally begin to see reason)

Which explains why I don't like having a religious convo with anyone. I just listen and nod or zone you off.

And the reason is because I hate being the bearer of bad news. And I hate being at the receiving end of the 3 stages of accepting the truth I listed above.

It's also one of the reasons why the bearer of bad news in the olden days were usually put to death by the King.

Anyone who loses a loved one also passes through those 3 stages before accepting the truth.

First, you ridicule the info.
Then you react violent to oppose it.
Later, acceptance dwells in.

It also explains why most superstitious folks HATE atheist (or rather dispise the people/persons who first told them God don't exist)

And another reason is because it goes against everything you've ever known from birth. In other words, the person is saying you're stewpid.

And no one likes being stewpid

You have said it all, nothing to add. Black Africans are still living in the dark ages were religion and superstitions ruled the society instead of science and logic. We would require another 600 years to get to our own age of enlightenment.

Any one that tells you to take the spiritual route wants to complicate your situation. Pastors, Imams and babalowos would cause more harm physically and financially. A doctor had already prescribed medications that seems to work. What else are you looking for?

It seems schizophrenia runs in your mum's side of the family. You yourself have to be alert and you are susceptible. Mental illness is Nigeria is very under estimated and under diagnosed. There are very few specialists and fewer facilities that deals with mental diseases.

Your best bet is to continue to see a specialist. Schizophrenia is a very difficult to treat, just like autism, it can only be managed with good medical care and family support.

Mrskillz1:
I am from a family of three. I have two brothers. One older and the other younger than me so I'm the only girl in my family.

I grew up seeing my Mom mad.
By my teen age, I got admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe University alongside my elder brother who was to study Engineering. By the time I was in my finals, my brother was getting ready for IT. One day, his roommate sent for me, he said they couldn't sleep the night before because my brother was talking to himself. Before we knew what was happening, my brother was getting violent and so we took him home and he never got back to finish school.
I proceeded with my education and finished. Went for NYSC. While serving the nation, My Mom died. When I got home, she'd been buried.
But my brother was still mad.

I later got job, took my brother to a Psychiatric hospital and the doctor after examining him said he is Schizophrenic. He was asked to stay in the hospital.
I paid. He then stayed there for one month. When I came to visit him, he pleaded with me to take him home that he didn't like it there.

So I took him home. Every month, I buy drugs for him and he gets injected. He usually puts up a fight but with the help of my younger brother, neighbors and a certain nurse, he receives the injection, forcefully and against his will.
Often times, he pleads with me not to inject him, the very time I obliged him, he scattered things, didn't allow the neighborhood sleep, talked throughout some nights and wouldn't eat sometimes. He looked really sick then but with the injection, one will hardly know he's not normal.
I told him that I won't let him miss his injection ever again.

Now, on Monday, my younger brother woke up and was unusually quiet. He normally wakes up and begins to play music with his phone or he will turn to football channel and watch until I leave for work. But I didn't go to work on Monday and I noticed he was quiet, then I asked him why he's quiet. He didn't respond. After some hours, I asked my Dad if he feels he's okay, My Dad said that he wants to be quiet and that I should let him be.

Then, that night, around 4am, my brother began to talk. He was shouting and some of the things he said were not coherent. He talked out of point. I and my Dad, with my elder brother surrounded him and I couldn't help crying when my Dad was cautioning him to keep quiet and he refused.
Neighbours thought it was my elder brother's voice they'd heard that night but by the time they heard in the morning that it was my younger brother, they visited my Dad in the evening. By then, my brother was still talking and even burnt his clothes yesterday.
My Dad got a few guys to chain him because he was violent yesterday when I left the house.
I know the problem is spiritual. I have prayed, fasted for my elder brother and now this!
I'm so unhappy.

Can someone suggest a place I can take my two brothers to so they can be cured, please.

Reach out to me via 08089456258 I will tell you what to do

Contact Streams of favour. They're in Umuahia. There are many spiritual churches one could recommend but they're in Lagos.

The chief medical officer is Jesus. He is the greatest healer.

We know what happens in psychiatric hospitals where the best doctors can offer their patients are anti-depressant medications to keep them in the zombie mode for as long as the effect lasts.

Psychiatrists will come, probe and leave.

Divine healing is there for you to explore.

May your brothers receive healing in Jesus name.

Let me not waste your time. Find a way to get I'm touch with the General Overseer of MFM Dr D.k Olukoya. Don't be decieved your problem is spiritual. Get mad in prayers. Go to Lagos and write a letter to the G.O. drop it at the counselling stand during counselling time. Write exactly these things you have written here. Never give up! Your brothers must get well! And it must not happen over your children

Where is your dad, ask him what he has done and ask your mum sibilings if there has been cases like this before. God will take care, remain calm. Nothing pass God.

Please don't listen to all these go here and go there advice for spiritual and herbal nonsense. Nigerians are very ignorant and poorly educated people. Go to a Federal Neuropsychiatrist hospital. There are consultants there whose specialty this is. This is a positive family history. It is 100% manageable. There are very high and accomplished professionals who are on medications like this. Patients can still live their best lives.

Don't take all these stupid village suggestions flying around
