[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 730057, member: 1550"] Drugs can make one delusional. But sounds more like he means (wink) you know that time Aunt Lindy covered for me. I have maybe done too much research on antisocial personality disorder because it fascinates me and narcicism for my sis because she insists her boyfriend is one. So I have a good layman's understanding of personality disorders as well as bipolar and schizophrenia which I also studied out of interest in mental illness. I have a mood disorder so I developed an interest in all disorders. I was in hospital for depression for ten weeks and saw schizophrenics and bipolars who had gone off their medications and got very interested in, well, everything. If he is delusional at all,he is not schizophrenic, which is a break with reality and would be obvious....unmedicated they are very hard to make sense of. I am not a certified expert but meth can cause psychosis as can weed in some. If he is delusional and not just gaslighting you, then perhaps the drugs are doing it. And of course regardless, you are right, there is nothing you can do. And nobody can tell if he is some sort of mentally I'll until he is sober for six months. My daughter was diagnosed biolar on drugs (cocaine and meth) and has been clean since about age 20,and is now 34, and has no symptoms of any mental illness at all. Not even depression or anxiety. You MUST be sober a while for a true diagnosis. Again, good luck and don't pity his abuse. Or fall for gaslighting. He may want you to think YOU are crazy (which is gaslighting) but also may want you to think HE is mentally ill so that you pity him. Wait until he is off drugs to see how he is. [/QUOTE]
