[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703881, member: 1550"] Please don't feel weak about the lights. Darkness spooks out many brave people. And you are brave. Schizophrenia, which I saw when I admitted myself to a psyche hospital for ten weeks (I was pregnant with suicidal depression, not for the first time) is absolutely horrific. So many obviously bright, kind people are afflicted. One moment they would be making sense. The next moment they "switched off" and started talking about nonsense and unreality. Or theyd get into fights with other patients. I felt so bad for them. I swore I would try to help those who were sicker than me. I was only 23. I learned that even severe bipolar can be stabilized quickly, but that even with medication many schizophrenics still had hallucinations and unreality. Of course the medications were not as good back then. I hurt for your family. I hope your son is arrested...that is one way he could be forced to get help. And you could see him again. Unlike many adult children, your son cant help his behavior and I have a special tenderness toward all of you. My heart breaks for you all and I hope your son is found and forced into treatment for his sake and yours. This is not unlikely. Jail is the new mental health system and referral system. [/QUOTE]
