How do I get help when my schizophrenic son refuses?

@jenatsky Okay, her son was delusional and not taking any meds or receiving therapy. It’s not that she ‘wanted’ him to be hospitalized but she could see that he needed to be. Whether violent or not, that’s not normal and left untreated only gets worse. So, obviously he needed to be hospitalized for treatment to get him stable. With his condition, he needs ongoing treatment. From later posts, you can see he is doing better now. Mental illness is not just a passing phase, it’s a big deal

@bewildered I couldn’t agree with you more. I did a stint of psychiatric nursing in my earlier years or practice and I’m married to a psychologist. It’s a life long journey for the patient and the family.
