RE: Paranoid Schizophrenic- Hospital or Jail? UPDATE
I'm so sorry that this is happening to you and your family. Mental illness is tough. If your father-in-law is refusing treatment, then there really isn't much that you can do, be it natural or prescription. Having to choose between having him jailed or committed is a heartbreaking decision, made worse by your family not being all on the same page about what to do. I'll light a candle for you.
Thanks, it is really starting to wear us all down at this point. We can only hope the Courts on Tuesday will force him to get the care he needs. Maybe then the family can have some peace in their lives. My mother in law has been so scared of him lately that she ended up leaving him. He showed up in her yard, kneeling down and praying in the middle of the grass, he is not a religous man but we feel he thought if he did this he would show her how much he wants her back. He has recently become physical with her and she had recent major surgery. She simply can't do it anymore, she is mentally and physically exhausted.
