Suggest Treatment For Paranoid Schizophrenia
My wife, Age 82,was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia in March, 2014. Her Psychiatrist had her on Abilify monthly injections for 13 months, with no improvement in her condition. She has been hospitalized on four occasions between June of 2014 and April 2016.Her condition today is getting worse, as she had to quit oral meds, which caused her stomach problems. She will not see her Dr. as she feels like he can t help her. Can you recommend a Facility or Hospital in the Tampa Fl.. area, that can help her?
