Donte Liversedge: agree with him on everything
Ronald Moehr: Leave. NOW. And whatever you do don't get pregnant.I was raised in a home with a paranoid schizophrenic father. It gets worse when you have children because he will be jealous of any attention given to anyone but him. Use the next time he acuses you of something to go.Yes, I know it is not his fault that he is delusional. But it is not yours either. And God Forbid it is not a child's. Bottom line. If you choose to stay do not bear children....Show more
Norma Marsalis: marriage councilor go on the Dr. Phil and Dr. G medical examiner shows to ask them if you can visit Oprah.
Craig Virani: Talk to his pyschiatrist, she/he may increase his dosage or give him something else to ease him up a bit. I know the goal is always to decrease the amount of meds one needs to take, but if his odd behavior is starting to flare up, it may be for the best. My brother is schizophrenic, so I know that the anti-psych! otic medications can turn people into complete zombies, incapable of connecting with people, but I suppose that is slightly better than the horror they experience without medication....Show more
Ermelinda Stalnaker: Nothing tells that this behavior is due to the disease, my brother suffers from schizophrenia and he is just lovely. They have a personality like everybody, not all their thoughts and acts are "schizophrenic", it's just a part of what they are. I'm sad that even families give such a bad reputation to this disease. Don't forget that so many women and families live hell with a "mentally healthy" person.
Nell Dipiero: Hi, has he tried a gluten-free diet? There is a link between gluten and schizophrenia and depression. I am no longer depressed thanks to a gluten-free diet. If he decides to try it, do it one hundred per cent for two weeks or you might not see an improvement. The 'gluten doctors' have a good blog where you can ask them questions and they a! re very helpful. Also, you might need to cut out dairy, as som! e people need to cut out both in order to see an improvement. For your feelings and unhappiness, you could try www.thework.com, which is a free cognitive therapy. I hope you find something helpful and I wish you both peace and happiness....Show more
Ambrose Mumma: You know I agree, it's not even the presidents responsibility. And even if it was we can't do anything because America is broke. We just spent trillions of dollars the past few years we can't spend another dime, and I guarantee you if the feds got involved they would be up in DC bitching at each other all day long and eventually drafting another stimulus errr I mean clean up bill which will no doubt cost BILLIONS. If the feds want to get involved first slap BP with that 13+ billion dollar fine, and tell them to hit the road and never to drill in our waters again for being such incompetent morons....Show more
Sol Bayn: My father was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, but refused the diagnosis and th! erefore didn't take any medication for it. When he married my mother, they had three children (I'm the eldest of the three). He was a loving husband and father who meant well. Always looked out for us. Whenever he earned money from work he would buy a freddo frog for my sisters and I, a caramello koala for mum, and give the rest of the pay to mum. He cooked meals when he could, helped with garden maintenance, told other people how proud he was of us, prayed with us, looked after us when we were unwell etc. However at times he would accuse us of plotting against him (for example hiding things, writing in secret codes, sabotaging etc). He also believed people were spying on the family and him (he said he saw someone photographing us from a window during dinner time, saw someone hiding behind an outside BBQ table, said there was evidence to suggest people were listening in to our phone conversations, he would examine tyre tracks etc.). He would also claim to know people on te! levision (for example he said "that was Dr Watts from Kalamunda who fix! ed my arm" but when I looked at the opening credits it said Shane Porteous) and if I told him otherwise he would get really defensive. Sometimes when people would challenge his beliefs, he found it difficult to express himself, and he would turn to violence and shout, but I don't think he meant to hurt anyone, it was just because he couldn't express himself properly. There were times when my parents would argue and nearly divorced, but they didn't divorce, they just sought marriage counselling and help from friends. At the time it was happening nobody, not even my mother was aware about the paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis. I grew up becoming increasingly confused, misunderstood and unhappy because of his behaviour. It wasn't until I later found out from a close family friend, that he had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia that his behaviour was able to make more sense to me and become easier to handle. If you love your husband and are considering having children wi! th him, I would suggest you seek some counselling from a therapist to learn ways to communicate more effectively with each other. Your husband may be reluctant to attend sessions because the paranoid schizophrenia makes him feel he's always right and therefore nothing is wrong. If you do end up having children, please be open to them about the paranoid schizophrenia, so they can understand his behaviour and not take it too personally. Constantly show them that you love them and remember actions speak louder than words. I still loved my father, and know he loved me too in his own way....Show more
