Good day Dr. Kaplin, your video was very simple to understand and informative, thanks a lot!
My 17 years old brother got diagnosed with schizophrenia because of multiple problems (family, school, failing sports, getting yelled at all the time...). He doesn't want to take medication since he doesn't "trust" anything chemical. He even eats raw food because he thinks it's more biological and healthier. He moved out to another city with my father because he wanted to escape the hallucinations at our house, and also he wants to follow a football career. My question would be, is there any chance he might surpass this in the future without medication/therapy? If yes, can you please provide us with a program (nutrition, lifestyle, communication...) that we can follow to get him back to normal?
Your help is very much appreciated.
