[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 679577, member: 1550"] Adad, yes. This is not like the bad choices our adult children make. This is a serious illness in which the adult child often doesn't even realilze reality from fantasy. I think it is a different category. The afflicted person is very, very sick and did not do anything to make it worse...it IS worse. It is also hard to treat as the person has delusions and often thinks he/she is being poisoned and therefore doesn't trust doctors or medications. The mind betrays the person and sends it a false send of reality. Very sad indeed, but not deliberate and the person cant willfully stop the hallucinations and honest beliefs. A person often does end up in jail, which have become our new long term psychiatric facilities. It is all very sad, and nobody's fault, and it would not be schizophrenia if the person could follow rules. Their rules are the ones in th eir minds. My heart goes out. [/QUOTE]
