[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686635, member: 1550"] I want to also emphasize that everyone with mental health issuesvEXCEPT a schizophrenic is capable of making helpful decisions. Many people don't understand the thought confusion and hallucinations of this sad disorder. medications can help some schizophrenics, but if they start to get even a bit paranoid and start believing that the medications are poisin, then it can all go to pot. Guardianship may be helpful if the adult is incapable of making decisions. You can get SSI alone, without a lawyer. My son got it easily...he has a form of autism. It helps him a lot, although he also has a steady part time job. There are options. You need to assess how impaired your son is. Can he do it himself or does he require adult help, ourselves or others? I prefer others because we will not live forever and I feel they need to learn to trust non family members as well as trusting us. What then do they do when we die? You do have options. We are here with you holding your hand. [/QUOTE]
