[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 585509, member: 16024"] I've been where you are at--only it was my husband (X now, thankfully). He wasn't as far into the delusions as your daughter, but it got bad. "They" had the house bugged, phone tapped, monitoring computer, sneaking in at night, poisoning his food, following him, etc. He had delusional disorder, persucatory type, just like your daughter. It often comes on very suddenly and out of nowhere. It is treated with anti-psycotics, often the same ones used for schizophrenia. The medications help a lot if they will stay on them. I remember how awful it was living like that. Not only having to listen to the delusions, but then to be accused of being an accomplice to 'them'. Trying not to do anything to set them off. Sleepless nights worrying. Ihave a 25yo daughter who has been diagnosed BiPolar (same as dad). She has been doing very well, college grad with a Masters, worked through college, now a good job. But it's been stressful, and just last night she called crying, saying she is scared shes becoming like dad. She said she thinks people are talking about her at work and she felt like the car drove funny on the way home. She has thoughts that someone did something to it, but she knows that is irrational. But she is scared. I am scared. [/QUOTE]
