I’m. so sorry that you and your son are suffering with all of this.
Good to know that he is in-patient right now.
Praying for you all.
My son has been admitted to a psychiatric emergency ward. The Psychiatrist who will be evaluating him called me and asked for background information. They will medicate him to calm him down and then hopefully will be able to do a through psychiatric assessment on him.
It has been a terrible week.
After he showed up at my home on Tuesday, he showed up at my Mum's on Wednesday, I had to call the RCMP, but sadly they just told him to go home. Friday he showed up at his former girlfriends and scared her with his ranting and raving.
Is there not a crisis team anywhere near you?
I am so sorry you are dealing with this in your son. It's heartbreaking. I agree with Barb that reporting a sudden change in mental status and getting him in the hospital sounds like the best thing to do now, for this current psychotic break.
A close childhood friend of mine has an adult son with schizophrenia. He had similar delusions and it was very scary. It took awhile for her to get the right diagnosis (his started in early adulthood) because it seemed they considered everything else first, before finally getting the right diagnosis and medication.
He now lives a functional life and holds down a job. He is doing okay. The key is he stays on his meds, and he's been able to do that now that he is stable.
I hope you can find a similar solution in that the right diagnosis/meds can turn things around. Wishing you peace as you navigate this, for your son also.
I hope you can find help for your son soon.
Can you find another therapist temporarily while your therapist is away?
The baby lives with his Mummy and my son only has limited visitation.
I wish medical treatment could be forced in a case like this.
psychotic break/psychosis/paranoia (deep cover agents)
that sounds like schizophrenia.
unfortunately, difficult/impossible to reason with someone who is going through psychosis.
medicine does sometimes help to get someone out of psychosis, and back to reality.
sometimes the medicine must be forced.
for example:
you could tell ambulance/doctors your son is a danger to his baby.
i hope the situation improves!! hug!!!!
Oh my goodness?
It very much sounds like your son has disconnected from reality. Meaning like he is having a psychotic break.
Who can you report this to as a sudden change in mental status and get him hospitalized and get him the help he needs?
