Not Sure What to Think Posted: 04-25-06 12:39pm
My son recently was taken to the hospital
because of some strange actions he was
spitting all over the place saying he
tasted and smelled something foul. He
stays in his room for hours at a time and
has for 3 or 4 yrs he is 19 now I thought
he was depressed tried to get him to talk
to someone he would not and then he
started at christmas time doing alot of
talking at night in his room I thought he
was talking in his sleep but I soon found
out he was not. He spent 4 wks in the
hospital the dr says he thinks he is
schizophrenia but I am so confused josh
says nothing is wrong with him he just
can't stand me. When he is on the meds he
seems fine he still stays in his room but
he doesn't spit and call me names but when
he is off the meds he can't sleep he
curses spits and hates me. He had an
outburst last week he swears he was taken
the meds but I don't know what to believe.
I know something is wrong but do you
think he is schizo. When he is acting
strange he is in his room saying get away
form me don't touch me then he comes out
and tells me I am sick and hollers at me
he also laughs to himself alot pls someone
tell me what to think of all this.

Many people with schiz don't think
anything is wrong with them. It is very
common. If the Dr. Told you he has it
then he probably does. Either way if his
meds work then the diagnosis really
doesn't matter.
The only advice I can give is to support
him as much as you can. If he says he
hates you it's the illness talking, show
him you love him anyway. Do anything you
can to keep him on his meds.
Hi I have problems too when I was in my
late teens I became withdrawn spending
hours in my room alone I have been
diagnosed with schitzophrinia now and im
26 I dunno but its hrad too live when u
