Rep Power: 7610 | Re: 25 year old son, is in a phychotic episode As soon as his wife called you she made it your business..You only did what you thought was right.I'm sure you feel powerless above all else but sometimes all you can do is pray and leave it in gods hands..His wife is a big girl and I'm sure will make the best decision for her and your grandson...as for your son...He is also a big boy with a serious illness but you cant help someone who doesn't choose to help themselves.Pray and ask God to take your heartache and worry and leave things to him.. |

Rep Power: 3186 | Re: 25 year old son, is in a phychotic episode Does your son have a psychiatrist? Maybe I misread your post a little (I'm medicated), but if he has one, does the psychiatrist know he's off his meds? I'd talk to a professional to find out what to do about this, because this seems like a medical emergency to me. Seriously. Good luck to you. |

Rep Power: 289750 | Re: 25 year old son, is in a phychotic episode Not knowing the specifics let me just make a couple suggestions. Locate the nearest hospital to you with a P.E.T. team on staff. This is a Psychological Evaluation Team, they're around you just have to check what hospital in your area has them. The do have the power to detain someone (at least 72 hours),if they feel he/she is a risk to himself or others. If he is over 18, you are going to have a rough time having him committed. It's not that easy, especially when they are able to play the game. The next time he acts out, goes manic, threatens someone call the PET team and the police. Hope this helps. zb1 |
