[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 761687, member: 22840"] ksm, are you sure she doesn't have access to any drugs at the moment? You know to make sure if her psychosis is drug induced she's not helping it along currently. I think I would be looking at anything she might call supplements also. My son has been psychotic a few times, both trauma and drug induced. I don't know how someone would be able to tell the difference without the person admitting to taking drugs or not. But I have heard just stopping whatever substance may have caused it doesn't guarantee it going away. Has the mental health crises unit talked to her at all? Considering she's really out of touch with reality I guess it depends on their threshold as to if they consider her to be a danger to herself. Has she actually done anything that could be considered a danger to herself, like tried to jump out of a window or whatnot? If so that's the thing to tell the Mental Health Crisis unit. But at that they may only put her on a 24 hour hold from my experience, well unless she can't control herself enough to seem stable with strangers, then they would keep her and hopefully start her on an antipsychotic. There's no magic one size fits all to talk someone into going for help though, it kind of depends on her. Could you start by trying to get her into your GP for a check up and bloodwork? See how that goes. I'm hoping you are able to get her some help soon. [/QUOTE]
