[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679533, member: 1550"] I I am sorry. I think it would help you a lot to learn about schizophrenia which causes delusions, psychosis hallucinations and eveb cognitive problems. It is not a coice tohave it and your daughter may be unable to reason right now. You didnt cause it, nor did she, but it tends to be hereditary and often the patient uses substances to quiet the auditory hallucinations. You cant expect her to make good decisions until she is stable on psychiatric medication and that can take time and she has to cooperate because even if one is psychotic, in our country the person has rights. Yes, I think its horrible but thats how we handle mental health in thr united states. There is no one or good answer about how to deal with the monster that is schizophrenia. Your daughter is not in her right mind. She is extremely sick, but often it is impossible to deal with them at home too. I suggest you contact NAMI to get support and to learn all you can about schizophrenia so that you dont misinterpret it as willful bad behavior. Then perhaps NAMI can help you with places your daughter can both live or get help. Often schizophrenics truly believe the government and even loved ones are trying to kill them and they truly believe their medication is poison so they wont take ut. Im sorry for you and your daughter. This is not about what you did to cause it. Its like cancer...it happens. And it is not about your daughter making bad choices. Schuzophrenia zaps your ability to know reality from hallucinations. Usually there are voices in the patients head telling them what to do and the patient doesnt realize the voices arent real. Schizophrenia is a VERY serious thought disorder. It is not about rational decisions. It often comes on very suddenly in the teens or early twenties and devestates everyone, especially the ill person if she is even capable of knowing he/she is ill. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
