[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 721640, member: 1963"] I think one of the saddest things about paranoid schizophrenia is that to them, the voices, delusions, commands, etc, are REAL. They live in a world fraught with terror, and yes, can be dangerous if they believe committing a dangerous act will rid them of the constant fear. I keep thinking of another mother on this board who overheard her son arguing with command voices that were telling him to kill her. I do want to point out that the bulk of schizophrenia patients are NOT dangerous, and in fact are much more likely to be victims of violence than to commit violence. Paranoid schizophrenia is another beast entirely, and some cases, especially with command voices and hallucinations, yes, sufferers can become dangerous to those they become convinced are what they fear.
