Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mom has paranoid grandiose schizophrenia. She is insistent that she is fine, physically and mentally. Though, she doesn t believe in mental health. It started in 2002 and progressed like that so far. During that time, I, her son was in college. I am fine, physically and mentally. So, no worries there. Only the serious mental illness of my mom. Do not broadcast or report in news, newspapers, or other media.
Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder with chronic course. In paranoid type of schizophrenia individuals have delusions of paranoid type like which results in belief that some one is conspiring against or may have delusions of reference type. Individuals don't accept the illness and usually deny treatment. This pose huge burden on family members. As she is not ready to consult a psychiatrist then you can visit a psychiatrist. Some times a patient can be prescribed the medicines for psychosis if doctor thinks that this will be beneficial to patient. Many medicines are available which are tasteless and can be given by mixing with food or water like Olanzapine, Resperidone.
Try to make her ready to visit psychiatrist at least one time for evaluation.
Thanks
