[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 738567, member: 4152"] Some (admittedly small) ideas based on our daughter with same diagnosis: 1. The cell phone can be a major incentive. 2. She likely needs a medication change.Something, perhaps stronger or more calming. Lithium should work, but doesn’t always. We had little help with that drug and NONE with Geodon. Seroquel and Abilify work well. ——Risperdal is a good temporary medication to use with very erratic behaviors. 3. Any chance she would go to weekly therapy and/or group therapy? Can you get it court mandated? 4. Baker Act her every time she is violent...different names in different areas. Call police and state that she is a danger to herself and others. Likely will put her in a facility for 24 hours. 5. See if there are Families Anonymous meetings in your area. Local people probably know of good local resources. 6. Start a good medical file and rapport with doctors as she might not be able to work and would then qualify for disability. 7. If you haven’t done so already, see a therapist for yourself at least now and again. This stuff is VERY hard. [/QUOTE]
