Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.I understand that you are quite worried about your dad. From the description of his symptoms it appears that he may be suffering from a chronic psychotic disorder like Schizophrenia. Sizodon (Risperidone) is an anti-psychotic medication which is used for treating psychotic disorders. It is usually effective in controlling psychotic symptoms like hallucinations. I would suggest that you take your dad to a psychiatrist in order to have a proper evaluation so that the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment can be initiated.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
