[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 552349, member: 1514"] Im so sorry. We believe my mom was schizoaffective disorder but she never got help but that was back in the 70s when I tried to turn her in. As she got older her paranoia just got more pronounced. I do think that her husband should keep some sort of journal - video if possible - of her actions. Once he gets some evidence of those things he can attempt to get her help even if that means going for an involuntary commitment. I know she wont be happy about that in the beginning but there are medications that can help. The issue is getting someone to stay on the medications. That is also an issue with someone on bipolar like I am. There are long acting anti-psychotics that can be administered if your daughter doesnt look like she is going to be compliant. However that is down the line. Your son in law might want to hook up with his local chapter of NAMI to get some support. [/QUOTE]
