The Mind - Schizophrenia Message Board

I had an interesting conversation with my dad tonight..it started when my brother called and got into an argument with my mom. David calls like two or three times a day and each call costs 2.00 and David does not understand this at all. No matter how many times we tell him. Bless his heart he is going downhill as far as remembering things. My dad and I talked about this a little bit and we know he has alot more damage then we realized. I think alot of times we don't want to admit. I just said dad his mind is gone. And dad started talking about a hospital he would like to put him in after he is released from jail. It's supposedly a real good mental hospital and would be real good for him. I think I understand my brother a little more then the rest of the family as having any kind of mental problems is hard on that individual. I myself suffer from depression and I have epilepsy. It's just hard as all get out.

Hi Koko,

As you know I'm far from an expert LOL, but I'm always interested to hear from you about how David is getting on. I admire you for your loyalty to David, and feel for you very much...

It's good at least that David does have this option, but a very hard decision to make. I wish you the very best of luck, and I'm sure someone else will be along soon to offer you some insight...

Big hugs,
Fuzzy

I am so sorry, from the bottom of my heart, that you and your family and David have to deal with such a wrotten illness. I just am so sorry.
