[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 534724, member: 84"] Society at large doesn't "get it" period. And I don't think it's just because they're unfeeling. I think it's because you have to [B]live[/B] with mental illness, or be exposed to it long enough that it dawns on you that it has no affect on these people's intellectual ability......just their functioning ability. My mom can be right smack dab in the middle of a psychotic break and no one has a clue.......until it become severe enough she attacks people like cops. I recognize the signs easily.....simply because I grew up with her and know the subtle warning clues. But she worked years as a nurse and no one had a clue she was schizo.....ok maybe they suspected there was an issue but I know not that severe. Like many of our kids, she could barely hold it together at work, then fall totally apart at home. Sadly, even some tdocs and psychiatrists really honestly don't get it. And I've had some really good of each that I worked with that would admit it to me. Some of these figure if a patient is so bad in their functioning that they couldn't possibly have the intelligence to manipulate them for things such as medications. BFF's last psychiatrist was that way, stupid man. Her death wasn't his fault, but he sure as hades contributed to it in my opinion. Still listening here too pigless. I'm so sorry you and the kids had to go through this horrible ordeal, husband too for that matter. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
