[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679644, member: 1550"] The problem with schizophrenia, as I understand it, is that it is the metastsic cancer of mentsl illness, far more serious and harder to treat than depression, anxiety or even bipolar. The reason for that is because there is often chronic and hard to treat psychosis, which is the mind playing tricks on the person to the point that he sees and hears and maybe smells and feels touch that is not real. But the person can not tell that it is not real. If one day of medications is missed or extra drugs are added, even alcohol or pot, the person can start to get serious, self destructive hallucinations again that they do not identify as not real. Trying to make a schizophrenic promise anything or face a consequence is a slippery slope. Even on medications some still get psychotic and forget their promises, dont remember the consequences and go into that world where everyone is out to get him and taping him you cant talk them out of it...they need crisis treatment and medications to bring them back to reality. But the laws only allow forceful help if they are a physical danger to themselves or others. They can not make sane choices if they are actively schizophrenic. But that is often not "bad" enough for hospitals to admit them. This is the worst mental illness one can have. My heart goes out to anybody who has a loved one with this disorder. I beleve that schizophrenia with mood components is called scizoaffective disorder but am not sure. We need better understanding of schizophrenia. It is the devil. And very misunderstood. [/QUOTE]
