Do they realize it’s actually a bar club

All I know is I saw them walk in miserable but four hours later they walked out smiling.

I try to repeat again and again to my brother that his voices are not spirits but just the result of his illness. I’m not sure if it helps him a little bit. What do you think? But he keeps thinking that he has a contact with spirits.

What can I do? When he talks to me about his spirits, I can’t just listen and say nothing. I must say that the spirits doesn’t exist!

It seems there’s nothing I can do to help him. Only his medication. He knows that his medication make the spirits stop to talk to him but he doesn’t make the link with his illness. He strongly believes that he can be schizophrenic and really be in contact with spirits.
