Continuing the discussion from Can anyone help? :
…my mom has gone untreated and nonmedicated for over 30 years for paranoid and disorganized schizophrenia. She is living in another state alone having paranoid and manic psychotic rages.she’s also suffering with a skin wound for over 5 years that I’m pretty sure it’s a carcinoma (cancer) that she refuses to have evaluated. I just flew to her for a week to try to help her see a physician without any sucess. I’m now home~to far to drive to her~ She’s alone without any friends, my father is severly disabled in a convalecent home,i have no siblings or other family, and she’s in this very bad condition…I just don’t know what I can do. It does feel like a hopeless situation. she’s had one previous involuntary hospitalization which did nothing for her was extreemly traumatic because of the physical force and just discharged her to a homeless shelter. I also am considered an enemie at times and then the only one she’ll trust…it’s an emotional rollercoaster. I don’t know what to do.
Welcome to the forum @thatdizzyedge
I sympathize with your situation. It has to be hard to watch a parent go through this and be unable to help. Where is she living? Is it in a homeless shelter?
Perhaps you will find some useful information here:
Schizophrenia Introduction, providing overview information Paranoid Schizophrenia, schizophrenia symptoms, schizophrenia causes, etc.
she’s in a hud assisted apartment in Los Angeles
