[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732457, member: 1550"] Schizophrenics often become seriously paranoid and truly believe everyone is out to kill them and that the medications are poisen. They then have no ability to reason and do not understand that their thinking is abnormal or that they are sick. Lots of books on this. Bipolar in a stage of true mania can also be complete psychosis with the same inability to understand that they are sick as a schizophrenic. Although they are still the only one who can authorize help for themselves, due to rather unsettling laws, if they are operating in a different reality, they don't even realize they are hallucinating. This is like telling an Alzheimer patient to make a good decision about his treatment. I feel awful for the parents of schizophrenic children. It is different than other issues. They need antipsychotics to tame the psychosis, but often think the treatment will kill them....vicious cycle. Sad disease. [/QUOTE]
