Just wondering

Hello all, I'm new here and I have a question. A friend of mine has told me she recently noticed that for about the past 2 months now her mom has been kind of buggin out. I looked up some things on schizophnrenia, but not sure if this is what she has, and wanted others input on what they think. She is 67 years old, only on heart meds, I think.

These are some of the things shes doing: unplugging things in the house, b/f went to take out the trash, and was gone a little longer than expected so now she thinks he is gonna kill her. Doesn't like the toliet water because its blue, peed in the trash can, thinks no one wants her around. Becomes very defensfive when someone tries to help her.

Anyway thats a few things she has said. I was just wondering what others thought. She hasn't taken her mom to the doctor about it and not sure if she will. I believe she is afraid it is possibly something and doesn't want to know. Any adice or thoughts are appreciated, thanks.

Re: Just wondering

It could be a number of things. Not necissarily schizophrenia. I would recomend that she have her mother make a drs apt for a physical. Then go in with her and mention to her dr all the things that have been witnessed. He will probably refer her to a mental health expert who can diagnose her and help her the most. Good luck. It is going to be hard to do this but it is something that must be done!
