How do I get help when my schizophrenic son refuses?

@christietus730 Your son needs inpatient treatment very badly to receive medication and therapy to stabilize his mental health. If you can get him to the hospital as soon as possible, they can see how bad off he is, and you can do the paperwork to involuntarily commit it. They need to be told that he is a danger to himself and others and cannot function normally. All this is true. He also needs immediate medical treatment to fix his prolapsed rectum. As soon as possible. Until you seek treatment for him, it will only get worse. Also, please seek treatment and hospitalization for yourself. There is treatment available to improve your situation so you both do not have to suffer like this. Please act immediately. Let us know how it goes. Wishing you the best.

@bewildered You are encouraging the mother to lie. Psychiatric hospitalization is not some benign intervention, and I have an old saying, "violence and coercion, begets violence and coercion," the research on involuntary hospitalization bears this out; I am not confident about the ability of psychiatric inpatient hospitals to be able to treat people without harm, especially on an involuntary basis, she said it herself her lean son has become a fat potato, but a good outpatient psychiatrist could absolutely help mitigate this horrible side effect. and being fat can kill you... slowly.
