Patient's question:
Since childhood, I have always had a habit of not eating and preferring to sleep. Whether sitting or standing, I remain motionless, often laughing alone while asleep.Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it is important to identify the reason why the patient is not eating and provide targeted treatment. Once the symptoms of schizophrenia are relieved, the issue of eating should also be resolved. First, symptomatic treatment can be administered, and long-term use of antipsychotic drugs should be used to control the condition. Second, if the illness has persisted for more than 2 years and long-term medication has been ineffective, surgical treatment should be considered as the best option.
