Answers:
well do you have any relative for you to go to stay for a while.? because your brother will never get better (please keep on reading i am not being mean). since schizophrenia is cause by a part of the brain shrink that disable a person's ability to control them self (ie seeing things, and being violent). therefore the best you can hope for is for him not getting worst. some medication will help but if they forget to take those meds, they will be back like they're once were. if not convincing your parents to send him into a state mental institution. be sure to let your parents to know that the impact for your life is too grate and you are having depression, and suicidal thoughts etc. its already bad enough to have one son that is in this situation and they don't want another thing to happen to their only hope. and all they have to do is to send your brother to get some professional help.

You and the family must get together and sort this out once and for all, this is affecting your school life ,and your family life, you have to be cruel to be kind, your brother needs treatment ,away from home until he is cured enough to join you all again , Health Question & Answer
if you cant talk to your brother about the problems, then you really need to talk to your parents.... if not, it's gonna totally ruin your life... your only a freshman, you should be enjoying life and your not... and i am very sorry to hear that.... please talk to someone before things get worse...Health Question & Answer
It is not your brother's fault his behaviour is not fitting the family. I think you should discuss this with the psychiatrist or mental health nurse looking after him about adding to the therapy he is receiving either medicines or counselling. Health Question & Answer
I agree this isnt his fault. You are his family and all of you should be working together to help him get better. If the people closest to him are only worried about themselves and not what he may be going through he will never get better. if he understands at all the discontentment you or other people feel for him he will get worse he is probably trying to get your attention. Jesus says pick up your cross and follow me which means he carried a cross for you and dies for you and he loves you and wants to help you any way he can. He expects you to do the same for others. Mostly your family. He died for you. Deny yourself and help him and you will feel better and bless your brother at the same time. I don't want to be harsh because we all have times that we feel this way about someone or ourselves. Sitting down and having a pity party isnt helping him and it won't help you. just helping him will help you both. I know your young and want to just have fun but I bet if you just tried it you would be more free than you ever knew you could be Trust me. good luck your in my prayersHealth Question & Answer
