EdwardRandy:
Op good morning. I read your write up and I must say I'm sorry about your brother.
I am from Anambra but I live in Lagos, I can help you seek solutions if you haven't got anyone yet. From what you wrote I can say your case may be spiritual and not really something drugs can heal.
Send me a DM if nobody here has given u a good idea yet, I'm willing to help the little way I can. But most importantly do you believe in tradition?

By tradition, you mean native doctors? No.

kingxsamz:


You're not intelligent, Infact you're far from it.
And I don't mean to be rude, I'm just stating facts. They are recommending churches for you to visit and numerous unreasonable spiritual nonsense to do, and you're saying thank you.
When you have finished wasting your time and playing with your brother's life by jumping from one church to another like Ada Jesus, then you'll come and cry. It's not you I pity, it's your brother for having someone like you as a sister with such poor line of thoughts.
If you people are so aware of these spiritual nonsense that you so much believe in, and believe churches have the answers, then you won't be suffering from poverty, insecurity, hardship, sickness and terrorism.
Don't find your brother medical help, keep jumping from church to church enriching the pockets of your fellow man. Mtchew.

YOU ARE SO KIND WITH WORDS
Thank you.

Modupeoluwa123:
I’m so sorry for what you are passing through. I definitely know how sad this is. I used to have a cousin who got married and boom! this whole issue started. My cousin will talk from morning to night, run around the street and when she is given food, she will urinate inside the food. Well, we took a lot of step, both medical and spiritual and today she is totally fine.
I could help but why not take him to a general hospital for a test first of all, because some of these sickness can be passed on from generation to generation.
1. Can you run a test to know what exactly is happening?
2: can he be placed on drug and then I can tell you some things to buy as well.
3.He will be fine, I believe.

He's at the hospital now.

pinkygurl:


Oya gather here people who have a mad relation o.
Op so sorry about this.l myself have a mad relation & l remember in 100level,a form we submitted to school asked us to tick if there is trace of madness in the family.
You are not alone.you might want to message me.l know how it is,growing up in an environment with a mad relation.The aunty also showed 1st sign of madness/psychosis/schizoprena full blown /pregnancy related giving birth to last born.Some women experience madness giving birth .She was already a graduate & out of NYSC & had other kids.so you yourself are at risk genetically especially if its a parent.
GOOD NEWS is that despite the relation having run mad like thrice in the space of 30years,crises period only occured whenever she stopped taking her drugs. & for each violent crises period,she was surmounted,chained & quickly rushed to the psychiatric hospital for patient admission.Each time,she stayed months there under doctor supervision & relatives visited until she was certified normal,nonviolent & discharged home with her drugs to take daily.
OP,she is on madness drugs for life.Thats how she stays normal to contribute her quota to society.She is a well adjusted civil servant & even raised all her children to university level as a widow.
There is hope for sufferers.especially if you dont run to unnecessary spiritual sources like someone rightly noted earlier.That is sure to worsen the problem to medically inassistable.
My advice get the relations quickly to reputable psychiatric doctors in "psychiatric hospitals" like The one in Uselu,Benin; Federal Neuropsychiatrist hospital New Heaven Enugu,etc .& get them on drugs daily.Even diabetes & full blown hypertensive patient are classified as terminally ill patients on drugs for life.so nothing strange about that here.A diabetic relation of mine diagnosed in his twenties,took lnsulin injections daily for over 40years until the day he died.
I would love to see your ill siblings medically supported & assisted terminally,and see them going back to university to complete their degrees.
Even mentally ill patients can be useful to society if they get proper medical assistance.You can pray for them while they are at the psychiatric hospital & pray for them to respond to drugs!!!. Avoid spiritualist at all cost.Someone l know was sent to an early grave few weeks after getting a spiritualist's help.This is a medical problem.lf its spiritual,The schizoprena illl patient,wont respond to schizoprena drugs.
My prayer is that your mentally ill relations respond to medical support.& dont forget l have a relation with full blown psychosis who takes the drug daily for life & is well adjusted to society as a civil servant.God Be With you as you seek the medical help needed in time.
Sending Love and light.

I deeply appreciate this.
But the thing is, I knew to use medication on my brother up till date yet I want him to be okay.
That's all.
And with my younger brother's case now, I don't want them on medication for the rest of their lives.
I just want permanent solution.
Is that too much to ask?

DukeJenrus:
It happened to my younger sister and will take her to traditional way but couldn't do anything to get her well. But went back to our family doctor to confirm what's the solution. He did lab for her and prescribed some medications and we went pharmacy to get the drugs including injections and drip. Now she is fine and went back to finish her school as it stands now she's doing well no issues and sometimes we go to her school to visit her no sign that she run mad before. I believe if you take your brothers there they will be fine. The Address: Nbawsi Office

Okay.
Thank you for this address.

tangnewy:
I'd like to share my experience regarding your present situation. First, I believe that there may be some underlying mental conditions that you need to urgently attend to/ take care of before you lose another person. Go see a medical doctor who is also a Psychiatrist as the latter does not prescribe drugs. I also believe that spiritual forces use physical problems to taunt and torment.
Whenever I felt the urge to talk uncontrollably, I just refused to respond. I also quote Psalm105:15. Psalm 54 also worked for my mum. I read the bible as if my life depended on it. I went for deliverance several times at MFM prayer city. This is about your personal salvation and not some pastors praying for you or your folks. I engaged in midnight prayers aimed at destroying my ancestral stronghold. I also believe that battles like these have a long span. I remember one time I was going to get something at a store in Europe and suddenly I saw a creature. It had no nose. Immediately, we saw each other, it covered its face. I was not wise enough to request the fire on God to consume it. Another time, I felt this urge to commit suicide. It was so strong that only God delivered me. I was in the sitting room when I saw a masquerade. It disappeared immediately I saw it and the urge left me instantly. I have a question for those who feel it is strictly a medical condition: why did I not see Bill Gates, Elon Musk e.t.c? Why a masquerade. I was born in Lagos. I've never spent up to a month in the village and the last time I traveled to the village was more than thirty years ago.

I am not tilting towards it not being a spiritual problem at all.
I'm going both medical and prayer way.
I thought I wasn't doing it right so I asked for help here with thoughts that there might be a recommendation that can fix it once and for us all but with the look of things here, and the responses so far, I think I am on the right track.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, I'll keep praying and using medication on them.
And you said that life battles like this takes a long span.
I hope my faith fails not along the way.

LisaAnneMia:
Hi dear, I'm so sorry about what's going on. I believe you're a Christian. I'm not going to tell you to pray and fast or read 50 Bible verses a day or meet any pastor to lay hands on them. You can do that if u wish. What I'll just tell you is very simple and it'll need you to simply believe.

I'd love for you to partake of the Holy Communion with your brothers (if they've ever accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior then they're Christians already). Don't fear based on what people have said that if you're unworthy or someone who's not living right, you'll fall sick or die. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner, eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lord's body... So to discern the Lord's body is to separate the work of the body from the work of the blood.

Jesus bore their sicknesses and everything that's wrong with them right now. And the blood represents their sins that have been forgiven. So when you partake with them, don't ask Him to heal them. Simply thank Him for healing them. Tell Him "thank you Jesus that by Your stripes, my brothers are healed from..." And when you want to drink the wine with them, don't ask Him to forgive them or be sin-conscious. Be forgiveness-conscious and say [b]"Thank you Jesus for forgiving us of all our sins and making us righteous by your blood"

Don't neglect taking them to the hospital or giving them drugs. Neither should you ignore the Lord's supper. Take the Holy Communion daily with them. You can take it three times a day if you want. In the Bible, the disciples went from house to house to partake of it. So they ate it many times a day. But don't do it ritually. Each time you want to partake, even though you're preparing it, see Jesus preparing it for you guys and giving you all the bread and wine.

You can use grape juice or wine or any other drink that looks like wine. You can use bread or crackers too. And when partaking, don't look somber or sad. Rejoice and believe their breakthrough is here. Just know Jesus wants to heal them. Majority of what He did on earth was to heal.

Remember the children of Israel the night before they left Egypt? The Bible says none were feeble when they left. And that's because of what they partook the night before. They ate a lamb. And now, we in the new covenant have the perfect Lamb to eat. Don't worry about having big faith before they can be healed. Each time you partake just believe in your heart that they are getting better and better. Take it one step at a time. Remember Jesus said a faith as little as a mustard seed can move mountains? So see your faith as small as that each time you partake with them. See them being healed little by little each time you partake with them. Don't give up no matter how many days or weeks or months you eat it. They'll get better and see the results, permanent results. Also, let them continuously listen to sermons that speak on Jesus' love for them, sermons that explains the finished work of Christ... strictly about Jesus. Faith won't come by hearing the law or obeying the commandments. Faith comes when you hear the good news of Jesus...that Jesus is healing, just like those who got healed when Jesus was on earth. They heard He was healing and got healed. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God.

Lastly, a single act of eating brought damnation to the world (Adam)...it brought sicknesses and aging to the world. So can a simple act of partaking of the Lord's body reverse all the curses and sicknesses. I pray they receive divine health in Jesus name! And don't fear or worry about yourself. Christ has redeemed you from every curse of the law. That's a promise. Hold on to it and confess it whenever such fears crop up to your mind. I'd love to explain more but it's already too long.

Thank you so much.

latitidejavu:
Poster I have taken it upon myself to keep repeating this till you acknowledge you have heard me. Any doctor here will understand why the emphasis. People go to all manner of stupid places looking for pastors and prophets and herbalists to cure what your family is experiencing only to finally destroy any chances of full recovery.

Poster please go to a Federal Neuropsychiatrist hospital New Heaven Enugh. The earlier you go the better the prognosis. Please. You are in Onitsha, drive down to Federal Neuropsychiatrist Hospital New Heaven Enugu on Monday. Don't make the mistake of going with all these herbal and spiritual solutions.

These are very stupid ideas. That many people are saying it's spiritual doesn't make it true. A lot of people are ignorant and daft! I am pleading with you. That young man is NOT under any attack. Your family is NOT under any curse or attack. Just like diabetics run in some families, this condition is also familial. Please start early to save that young man.

Consultant Neuropsychiatrists will manage this case very well and your brother will be whatever he wants to be so long as he takes his medications. The earlier you commence treatment the better the management.

Please in God's name DO NOT patronize all these prophets, pastors, herbal nonsense. This is a normal case. It's familial. Positive history from your mother's side. It is NOT a curse. It is NOT an attack.

It is a purely medical condition

Hi.
I have heard you.
We are using Nawfia for now.
I feel the New haven Psychiatric you recommended is the same with this one at Nawfia.
Thank you.

Curious345:
can you come to mfm headquarters at onikan here in Lagos ?

I'm thinking of going to the one in Onitsha. Maybe I'll consider that of Lagos, I'll give it a thought.

Kobojunkie:
I still you need to spend even more time researching and gaining understanding of mental illness so you can maybe start putting yourself in your brother's shoes and understanding the hell that is his existence as you continue to contemplate whether your ego will allow you continue to let him have the little help that is available to him through medicine or not.

There are no such things as generational curses...read Ezekiel 18... and yes, problems can be hereditary but even then it could skip generations. So, instead of trying now to self-diagnose your brothers with the help of what seems to be a whole load of uneducated and inexperienced -in the sense that many of them have never paid a visit to their own minds, let alone experienced mental illness they do not deny - dingbats on nairaland, find your brothers better psychiatric care. I can tell you that you may need to find them doctors that pay each attention and work with each to properly titrate medications to suit their individual conditions.

A belief in God does not negate a belief in medicine and the use of them. Even Jesus Christ introduced Himself as a physician to those who were sick and in need of healing.

Pastors that you seek are no better than babalawo's and native doctors.

I'm tired.

Salt06:

Yea most likely a curse. My Bro has similar issues years back. Talking to himself, acting strangely, scattering the whole place and all. We took him from one hospital to another, sometimes he'd become fine and it will start again. The ordeal took months- close to a year. Saw his hair shaved harphardly in a dream. Like signifying Madness. We also continued day and midnight prayers and praise while taking treatment. We took him to one Apostle Suleman's service in Auchi, wasn't seen one on one but was surprised he joined the cooperate aggressive prayers and all. Gradually became fine. Then he said he didn't want to continue the medication cos it was affecting him. It's about 6-7 years now and he's still hale and hearty.
Keep praying as a family for God to show the family mercy and give you a miracle as you do the medical part.
May the good lord bring healing and a cure in Jesus name!

Thank you so much.
I see hope for my brothers.

gregyboy:



This renowed pastors are fake just forget about them, apostle Suleman i have seen him one on one in his church at his hometown in auchi edo state

He performs magic and nothing more

If you want to waste your time and effort go to auchi in edo state he always holds programne every last Friday of the month in auchi there

You will see him live....

I would have advised you to save the stress but not trying at all will leave you many doubt too

So if you wanna try religiously atleast just try 2 renowed pastors if it doesn't work don't stress yourself further


This illness i believe it is genetic and a mental disorder the best thing you can do to humanity or to the family is dont allow it spread to any other generation from your brothers

You can have children yourself but always have it in mind you may transfer it to your own children but to reduce maximum damage
Your two brothers must not procreate


Life is unfair sometimes and if there is a need to take drastic actions then we will take it

I'm feeling the drastic action I should take should involve fixing the root cause rather than preventing them from birthing.

I wish there's someone that can see into the past and tell me how it all began, then I'll know where to channel my energy to.
If someone placed the curse, then we can appeal.

aycorporat:
Honestly this brought tears to.my eyes...

Wake up every 1am in the middle of the night
Be ready for a spiritual battle

Get alligator pepper.
Take Psalm 146 for a start, read Psalm 51 for forgiveness of sins, then move into action.
Chew three seedlings of the alligator pepper and read Psalm 70 and declare what you want and not. Sanctify the environment with the blood of Jesus and fire on
Next read Psalm 121. Do it for three days and on the third day read Isaiah 60 verse 1 to the end.

God be with you

I will.
Thank you.

Yeahmee:
My sister,
This is a medical condition.
Please seek medical attention ASAP.
Mental disorder is the same as other medical conditions that need medical assistance.
Your brothers will thank you when they get well.

Okay

DonHummer:
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.

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.

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 northern there for the worse

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.

olamide0147:

Wey you dey buy drugs and injections for your elder bro lol we will also needs funds to do that now but if your story is real may god almighty heal your brothers

I trust him.
He will.

descarado:


You are too hasty. Didn't you read my first post before reading this?
Or the second sentence here?

Guess you don't need help anymore.
Take care

Smh.
I'm thankful it's not your help that I'm asking for.

descarado:


Scammer

I pray not.

Hey,
Did I ask you for money??
Did you see me say GoFund anything?

You don't have to be unnecessarily mean with words just because I'm down.

Nephilim:
Take him to T. B. Joshua.

My mom went there many years ago.
But that Sunday, my Dad said as they got there, it was that week that TB Joshua got some wise men to pray for people.
She was prayed for but...,

So since then, we never went back.

olamide0147:

You said you came from family of 3 and you are the only daughter, what about your sister you mentioned here?

My cousin.

Now concentrate on the matter at hand.

CandyOps:

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

Has your intelligence ever failed you?
Did you see me here all these years seeking for solution?
I went science way because I knew it's in the gene but then, I found that it's not the best because of the generations after and so I began to seek permanent solution.
Something must have triggered it because my mom's ancestors had no record of such.
So if it started along the line, something must have influenced it. This is why I'm out here looking for a fix. Not the kind of fix drugs do.
Something higher.

I'm intelligent my dear, but right now...I really do not know.

[quote author=joefengzy post=101455107][/quote]

This is really touching
Ill suggest since you're in anambra
Ill direct you to 2places but its traditional way
God wont put your family to shame nne.

Amen.
I'm open to your suggestion.

slimjohn2k5:
Start looking for the source, there is a reason you have been spared.
Ask your mothers people questions and ask your dad questions.

If it is a course from any source like from the family you will know what to do. Forget those pastors they are hustling like you.

I have asked questions.
My mom became mad as she got pregnant with my younger brother.
By then, my Dad said he took her to several places and was told that it was ogbanje. My mom is very beautiful and hardworking.
Her family joined in the solution.
She became okay after she put to bed.
Then they decided not to have more kids.
My mom's shop is in main market onitsha, after a few years, the madness returned and her shop was closed down. By then, we had grown a little and so everyone concentrated on us, giving us a life.
I remember that my mom leaves house every morning and will trek to main market and hang around there and return by evening.
This she did daily.
She was not violent. She was usually by herself.
Her brothers usually came to see her.
My Dad took care of her grooming.
Until few years back when she suddenly stopped going to market and stayed indoors for like a week.
Then one night, my Dad said she called him as they were sleeping and said to him that we will be fine.
Then they slept off and she didn't wake up in the morning.

Missyajoke:

Where is he based?

rhadiator15:
Apostle Joshua Selman, you can book an appointment to see him. Koinonia

I watched him on youtube those nights that I did midnight prayer for my brother.

How do I book appointment to see him?
Does he have a branch in Anambra?

zeuss:
The medication you give your elder brother can also b effective for your younger. God will strengthen you and give you the wisdom to achieve complete healing for them.
Seek psychiatric help as you also look to God.

But how long have you been living in you current location with ur family?

Since birth. We were born here.

I don't want to go through the medication way for him, I've done that for my elder brother for years now.

Romanoff:
Hmmmm.

It is indeed Spiritual o.

Stats your location so you can quickly get help.

Onitsha, Anambra state.
Thanks for the remind.
