[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 308125, member: 1550"] Confusion and lapses in memory can be schizoaffective or schizophrenia too. I wish I didn't know this, but I've been this the phospital three times and have seen many schizophrenics. Some do get stable, but before they are stable, they are very confused, say strange things, do strange things, have no concept of time, often self-harm etc. The thing I noticed the most is the look in their eyes as if something is "off"...they are not all there. I have not seen that in other mental illnesses other than severe mania. Psychosis to me seems to have a certain "out of it" appearance. I was in the hospital the first time for ten weeks (I was pregnant, suicidal, and couldn't be medicated). I learned to recognize when somebody was, as I called it, "not in his/her right mind." But many very sick mentally ill people, even schizoaffectives and schizophrenics, can get quite stabilized for long periods of time, but they have to be clean. The drinking is not a good thing and I agree he may be doing it because it's the lesser of two evils. Gentle hugs and just a quick "I understand." [/QUOTE]
