Communicate: Need to let doctors know the outcome of treatments, be they good or bad. If there are problems with communication or interactions, it may necessitate a second opinion or a new doctor.

Talk: Talk to the person about what you notice, regarding changes in behavior, and ask for input from other people who know the situation intimately. Ask the person to point out the changes to the prescribing doctor. If the person is uncomfortable with this, the person is entitled to a second opinion. I would recommend that second opinion come from a reputable psychiatrist.
