schizophrenia and not taking meds
My mum has bipolar and has schizophrenic tendencies. She has recently stopped her schizophrenia meds because she said she feels better without them. The first week or 2 were not so bad but now she has become increasingly paranoid. She thinks people are breaking into the house at night and says she has heard them talking and wispering down stairs in the middle of the night. Knowone else has heard or seen anything including the 4 dogs in the house but she says they mustbee bringing food for the dogs. She is not listening to reason and thinks she is fine and refusing to take her meds. I have made an app with her dr about the matter to see if she can convince her she needs them. I am so stressed out and have no idea what else to do as i am the only person in the family that seems to actually care.
