Hi Queen 1, I’m sorry you’re in such a difficult position right now. It will get better. What state are you in? Every state has different rules. I’ve lived with my son in CA, CO, CT, MN, and MA. He was cycled in and out of the hospital more times than I care to admit. They never kept him long enough and the meds they gave him didn’t work - he’s tried all the atypicals so it was a vicious merry-go-round. Minnesota has the best mental health services I’ve ever experienced. Not only do they have a superior housing system for them that you won’t find anywhere else but the hospital where we lived in MN sent him to Fargo, North Dakota where they said he wasn’t leaving until they broke the psychosis - 10 years of psychosis because all meds didn’t work. He had a blood disorder which made doctors reluctant to try Clozapine. But this hospital kept him a whole month and ramped him up very slowly and took their time, testing his blood work often and he tolerated it and still does. He is 80% better.
Hospitals in my home state were so tired of seeing him they just started not admitting him because they felt he was treatment-resistant. And the only criteria they will accept to take him into the hospital is if he “is a danger to himself or others”. When he was really psychotic (but not saying he wanted to kill himself (he’s never said he wanted to kill anyone else but himself) I argued the point that anyone that psychotic IS a danger to himself because he cannot even cross the street carefully because of delusions and hallucinations. You might try that.
