Schizophrenia is a severe and complex mental health condition in which a person fails to understand or to differentiate between reality and unreality. It is mainly characterized by delusions and hallucinations. Delusions are fixed, false beliefs that cannot be shaken even when a reason is given against such beliefs. Hallucinations are sensory perceptions that occur in the absence of external stimuli like hearing a voice or seeing an image that is not present in reality. Disordered thinking and abnormal social behavior also accompany these characteristic features.
There is a vast scope for the treatment of many such psychological complaints with homeopathy. Homeopathic medicines are found to be very effective in treating Schizophrenia. Being of natural origin, they are free from any toxic side effects and are safe to use. Apart from safety, homeopathic medicines for schizophrenia are also not habit-forming, and one can withdraw their use once recovery begins. Homeopathic medicines act deeply and aim to work on correcting the root cause of the disease. Delusions of varying kinds, hallucinations, and the other accompanying features of Schizophrenia are treatable with natural homeopathic medicines. Due to the use of these medicines, the intensity of symptoms is seen to reduce gradually and there is a sense of general well-being.
Homeopathic Medicines For Schizophrenia
There is a huge list of homeopathic medications to treat Schizophrenia, and the remedies are selected symptomatically depending on a case-to-case basis. The top-ranked homeopathic medicines for Schizophrenia are Lachesis, Anacardium Orientale, and Hyoscyamus Niger. The keynote symptoms of these homeopathic remedies are as follows:
1. Lachesis – Top-Grade Medicine
Lachesis is the top recommended medicine for schizophrenia treatment. Certain delusions are mainly indicated for the use of this medicine. These include the patient’s delusion about having been poisoned by someone, being harmed, or being followed by enemies. There is suspicion to an extreme degree towards everything. The sensation of being under the control of some superhuman power is yet another unique feature in persons needing Lachesis. Another delusion could be there are robbers in the house. In some cases, there is a delusion that she is dead and people are preparing for her funeral. A wish to isolate themselves, aversion to work, and a marked loquacity (excessive talking) are also present among such subjects. There is disorganized speech and continuous talking marked by quick jumping from one subject to another unrelated subject. Repetition of the same words over and over again is also present in the speech.
2. Anacardium Orientale – For Auditory Hallucinations
Anacardium Orientale is an important medicine for Schizophrenia where a person hears voices. The voices are mostly of spirits or dead people. A few patients narrate that the voices say that they are going to die soon. Some patients say that the spirits call their names, and command them to follow them. Some patients state that the voices inside them speak in abusive language. Those who need it experience delusion as if the mind and body are separated and delusion of being double or having two wills. A very unique delusion that may be present is that on one shoulder an angel is sitting commanding and doing good things, and on the second shoulder a devil is sitting asking to commit bad things. Other accompanying features are extreme sadness, absent-mindedness, suspicion, indifferent behaviour, and lack of interest in anything. Forgetfulness, aversion to work, desire to swear and curse, and talking in phrases that make no sense are also some characteristic symptoms that may be present. Another unique feature is the feeling that everything is a dream, and nothing is real.
3. Hyoscyamus Niger – For Delusion Of Being Poisoned And Seeing Absent Persons
Hyoscyamus Niger is useful in cases where the patient thinks someone is going to poison them. In most cases, as a result, they avoid eating or drinking offered by others. There is also a suspicion that family members are keeping a watch over them all the time. Sometimes the patient does things that appear foolish. Laughing loudly at everything is also distinctly present. An impulse to strike and bite others may also arise along with delusions. Excessive and hurried talking, and unintelligible muttering can also appear. One may make strange and funny gestures like a clown dancing. The next important symptom to use this medicine is when a patient says he is able to see people who are not actually present.
4. Stramonium – Where Patients Talk with Imaginary Spirits
Stramonium works well in cases of Schizophrenia where the patient thinks that they can talk with spirits. Patients who need this remedy say that they are under the influence of these spirits. They may also say that they are in communication with God. They carry out conversations with imaginary people. A feeling of restlessness accompanies talking to spirits and imaginary people. Delusions about the presence of multiple people in the room may also arise though none are there in reality. The patient sees people coming out of all corners of the chamber. Patients who hear voices that scold them are also treated well with Stramonium. Another delusion that points towards using Stramonium is a firm belief by the sufferer that he is going to die soon. As a consequence, they start to give directions for their funeral. A constant praying and recitation of religious rhymes also predominantly appear with the above features.
5. Platina – For Schizophrenia Accompanied By Delusions Of Grandiosity
Platina is a high-grade homeopathic medicine for Schizophrenia with delusions of grandiosity. Patients who need Platina think of themselves as superior to others, and of great value to humanity. They believe that they are better than everyone else, and that all others are insignificant in comparison. Even the closest family members seem to be of no value and inferior to them. They exhibit great pride and are extremely critical of others.
6. Baryta Carb – For Suspicion That A Person Is Being Talked About
Baryta Carb is helpful in treating Schizophrenia where sufferers have a high suspicion that other people are talking about them. There is also a feeling that they are being made fun of and people are always laughing at them. Other symptoms that accompany are difficulty in concentration and confusion of the mind. Childish behaviour is also common among patients who need the medicine — Baryta Carb.
7. Plumbum Met – For Delusions Of Conspiracies Of Being Murdered
Plumbum Met is administered for Schizophrenia among those suffering from delusions of others conspiring to murder them. These individuals think everyone around them is a murderer and their life is in danger. Sadness, melancholy, restlessness, anxiety, aversion to talking, and absent-mindedness also prevail.
8. Thuja Occidentalis – For Sensation Of Being Under Superhuman Control
Thuja Occidentalis is of help in cases where the patient feels as if he is under the control of some superhuman power. The patient has a vacant look with staring eyes and may talk in a hasty way or use the wrong words while talking. They are also sad, irritable, and suffer from insomnia. They are usually unable to manage daily life tasks.
9. Calcarea Carb – For Delusions Of Being Followed By Someone All The Time
Calcarea Carb is administered for Schizophrenia with a delusion of being followed by someone all the time. Along with this, there is the fear that something bad is going to happen. Fear of misfortune and of losing reasonableness in one’s life is also present. Anxiety, high irritability without any reason, and the constant fear of death also appear.
10. Kali Bromatum – Where Persistent Sleeplessness Attends Delusions
Kali Bromatum is a medicine for Schizophrenia where there is persistent insomnia accompanied by delusions. The delusions are of varying kinds. They mainly include delusions of conspiracy, and of persecution (as if someone is conspiring against them or pursuing them). Symptoms of depression, which include profound melancholy, indifference to life, and uncontrollable weeping, are also present. Such patients fear talking to people. Another marked symptom is a feeling of being singled out as the only person for divine wrath.
11. Cannabis Indica – For Disorganized Speech
Cannabis Indica is a very useful medicine for Schizophrenia with the presence of disorganized and incoherent speech, with the tendency to stammer. A person who needs Cannabis Indica begins speaking but is unable to complete a sentence. They forget words while talking. A lot of ideas tend to crowd their brain, and they get lost in thought and/or are unable to fix their attention on one subject. Uncontrollable laughter may arise when the patient laughs at every word spoken to him. They even laugh at serious matters. They, however, have the persistent fear of becoming insane.
12. Medorrhinum – When Nothing Seems Real
Medorrhinum is a medicine for Schizophrenia when nothing seems real, and the person feels everything is a dream. This is accompanied by feelings of anxiety and of always being in a hurry. Patients are also impulsive, and cruel and tend to use abusive language. As night approaches they are overwhelmed by the fear of someone following them. They have delusions of people looking at them from behind the furniture. Apart from the above symptoms, sudden mood changes may also be present. A very characteristic feature is that patients constantly think that they have done some unpardonable sin and are going to hell, so they keep praying.
13. Aurum Met – To Manage Depression
This medicine is of great value to manage depression in such cases. Those who need it have intense sadness, and hopelessness along with predominating suicidal thoughts. They feel as if life is a burden, and the future is all dark. They indulge in self-criticism. There is a desire to die, and such people constantly talk of self-destruction and suicide.
Reasons Behind Schizophrenia
1. The exact reason behind Schizophrenia is still not clear to the medical fraternity. However, a combination of genetic, and environmental factorsseems to play a vital role in making a person prone to developing Schizophrenia. It most commonly begins in teenage or early adulthood.
2. It is also thought that some imbalance in chemicalsused by the brain(neurotransmitters dopamine, glutamate, serotonin) for communication between one nerve cell to another nerve cell and losing connections in some brain areas may play a role behind its cause.
Risk Factors
There are certain factors that increase the risk of schizophrenia such as:
- Family history of schizophrenia
- Certain viral infections to the mother during foetal development, malnutrition, stress, exposure to toxins during foetal life, and having gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia increases the risk of schizophrenia in baby
- Infections and autoimmune diseases that affect the brain
- Prolonged stress for long time periods
- Using psychotropic drugs like cannabis
- Some factors like childhood trauma, abuse in childhood, dysfunctional families, death of mother/father, unemployment, being bullied or any deep insult in the past may increase the risk of schizophrenia in a person who has a predisposition for it.
Symptoms Of Schizophrenia
1)Positive/psychotic symptoms: These means symptoms related to actions and thoughts not based on reality
A). Hallucinations: Sensory perceptions that occur in the absence of external stimuli like hearing a voice or seeing an image that is not present in real. a). Mainly auditory hallucinations occur in schizophrenia, in which the sufferer hears voices in the absence of any sensory stimulus.
b) Hallucinations related to smell, taste, and vision may also occur though these are not common.
B). Delusions: It is a firm belief in something with a lack of evidence to support it. a) Delusions are mainly persecutory in nature. In these delusions, patients feel that someone is plotting to harm them, someone is spying on them, they are being followed by someone, or someone will poison them. b) A delusion as if someone is controlling their thoughts or is keeping a watch on them is also a prominent feature among some of those who suffer. c)Delusion that they are very important or have excess fame.d) Delusion of possessing extraordinary powers e) Delusion that another person is in love with you.
3. Disorganized Speech: Disorganized speech and confused thoughts are present. The sufferer may give an answer to a question that has no link to the asked question. Senseless talking, jumping from one subject to the other quickly while talking. Speaking in a monotone, and saying meaningless words may also arise. They may also feel as if some external source is controlling their thoughts or think that they have some extraordinary powers.
4. Negative symptoms: These refer to not showing normal behaviour by persons having schizophrenia: It includes social withdrawal, losing interest in life activities, weak expression of emotions (not sad on sad occasions or not happy on happy occasions), lack of facial expressions, fewer to no gestures, lack of emotions, lack of motivation, neglect in maintaining personal hygiene.

Complications
If not treated certain complications can arise such as:
Anxieties, obsessive-compulsive disorder, aggression, depression, suicidal thought or attempt, drug abuse, and alcohol abuse are a few things that may complicate Schizophrenia.
Diagnosis
1.There are no lab tests to diagnose schizophrenia. It is diagnosed by ruling out other mental health conditions and substance-induced psychosis. Certain tests may be carried out like MRI, and CT scan to check for changes in brain structure; blood tests to rule out other causes of symptoms.
2. A detailed psychiatric evaluation and symptom study is required to diagnose schizophrenia
3. Criteria given in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) may be used to diagnose schizophrenia. As per this manual two diagnostic criteria have to be present for one month with a major impact on social or occupational functioning for minimum of six months. Among these one symptom is to become hallucinatory, one remains in delusion and disorganized speech and the second symptom is to be some among negative symptoms or disorganized or catatonic behaviour.
I have a 24 year old son that has been diagnose with Schizophrenia, Psychosis, bipolar disorder and psychoeffective dissorder. He is receiving treatment but it is not 100% effective and the insurance covers every month and the effect does not last the 30 days.
My grand father used to use homeopathic medicine. I used it in Mexico. I believe it is vey effective
My son is taking two anti psychotics (seroquil 209 mg and prolixen 2.5 mg with 900 mg of lithium at bed time. Daily dose is 109 mg of seroquil and 309 lithium. He has also had problems with ecstasy addiction and amohetamine addiction. He is 26 years old, he had significant Lyme infection and may have a adhd component. His executive skills have greatly diminished and he has some mild paranoia and ocd. I have been helping him for 5 years but no clear diagnosis. I would like to ween him off everything and start from clean slate. Is this a good idea and where can I do this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dr. Sharma
I’m writing in regards to my husband,Gordon. He’s aged 45. We live in Canada. He’s never been on medication for any of these symptoms but we take a wide variety of vitamins. I also have to say that we have consumed cannabis regularly, but since he’s had these major attacks we have eliminated cannabis from our lives (yes I now realize this was a primary reason for these symptoms). Also, neither of us are currently working because we lost our jobs due to Covid.
Here is a list of symptoms he has:
-Thinks he’s a super human (thinks he’s king of Atlantis)
-anger outburst
-sees “spirits” that are taunting him by tapping on his head, shoulder, etc, and he can “smell” them
-accusing others of wronging him
-feeling of being spied on from everywhere/everyone.
-destruction of personal items that he feels are evil
-not able to answer questions straight
-unable to express emotions or use words
-feels he can “smell” evil
-highly irritable
-sometimes acts childish
-angry and short-tempered with loved ones
-Varicose veins on upper thigh that he thinks are a symbol or message
I’m sure the list could be longer, but this is all I can think of at the moment.
Please advise of next steps. I feel he needs help asap as he is very volatile and I fear him hurting himself.
Thank you
Hello Dr.Sharma
I write on behalf of my 44 yr old son. Was diagnosed at 16 with schizophrenia/bi polar. Was put on Depakote and a variety of to many drugs that made him dysfunctional. He refuses to do drugs. I have read your site and was confused as to which of the mentioned cures would be suitable to try.
He is very smart, but at times no common sense. Rapid speech. Very anxious. Unable to sleep. Racy thoughts, stares at the wall speechless other times, delusional, misconstrues others comments , believes others are seeing him poorly, takes any criticism with anger. mad at the world because others are ahead of him in life, very suicidal at times. He is overweight, high blood pressure and they put him on Lisinopril.
Not sure how to combine natural supplements to calm him without lowering blood pressure to much in addition to Lisinopril. Do you charge to consult? where are you located?
What is the best way to talk to someone experiencing psychosis? Does it usually just come and go or does something trigger it? Where can you get these medications to try? Are they fast acting?

Dear Dr. Sharma, we live in Michigan, USA and our 24 years old son, Benjamin Kamberov had a sudden onset of psychiatric symptoms such as severe depression, psychosis, anxiety, fears, and catatonia, all starting about 7 years ago. Before that he was a normal child. He hears voices and has frequent suicidal thoughts and has made a few attempts. He’s been hospitalized 3 times in psychiatric facilities and has been on different antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, ECT treatment , IV-Ig infusion, and Plasmapheresis, but nothing has helped on the long run. We need your help in establishing a homeopathic treatment for Ben. Please, let us know how we can schedule an initial consultation and what your fees are.
