[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 579283, member: 15832"] Spoke to psychiatrist this AM...he is doing well, but has little insight as to why he is in the hospital. It seems he feels that nothing helps him...not medications, not therapy, nothing. This has been his theme for years. P doctor says because of this attitude prognosis is poor. He will start the PHP program Tuesday, discharge will be tomorrow. P doctor says more aggressive therapy such as a psychiatric residential treatment center would be appropriate, but how to pay for it, and how to get him to go? I am starting to apply for services for him. I am looking into group homes. I am very anxious and afraid of the future, and apprehensive about bringing him home. But I am determined that we, my husband and I, are not going to go down with him. I am packing a backpack with change of clothes, weeks supply of medications, and toiletries. Also list of phone numbers for relatives and the local PADS shelter. 3 days out for not doing what we say. Maybe more. Trying to stay strong. Pat [/QUOTE]
