[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 763795, member: 21066"] I’m so, so sorry about what your son is doing to you and your husband. Schizophrenia is very hard because most people don’t think they have it. It’s the nature of the disease to be paranoid and hallucinating. It’s nearly impossible to get them to take their medications. Before the pandemic I volunteered at the homeless shelter. Many people staying there were off their medications or thought they didn’t need medications. Most of them think the rest of the world is the problem instead of their disease. They don’t trust doctors. One of the guys at the shelter wouldn’t take his prescriptions because he truly thought the pills were mini cameras so that the doctor could record his thoughts and give his information to the CIA. It’s absolutely the worst disease. In rare cases you can get a judge to commit a person for three days. The hope is that during those three days, the person will be medicated which will allow them to begin thinking more clearly, thus realizing upon release that they really need that medication. I would start by talking to a social worker about what, if anything, can be done. You and your husband might benefit from marriage counseling. You need counseling for yourself, too, because you have been traumatized and stressed to the max. Did your son have schizophrenia prior to using drugs? Is there a family history? [/QUOTE]
