Im 26 years old and my mother is suffering from paranoid schitzo...She has gotten worse over the last 3 years..She was diagnosed 2 years ago and went to see a psychiatrist. She was given medication and it helped bring down her symptoms to the point where she didnt here the voices anymore. She gained weight because of that and stopped taking them. Fast forward to now...She seems to be getting to the point of self doubt and talking to herself like she doesnt have control over it. She will start crying for no reason sometimes. I here her saying things like stop following me and things of that nature. She seems to think the voices she hears is following her. She is delusional about any pain she feels in her body like leg pain or headaches are caused by this person following her. She seems to think there is nothing wrong with her and the demons need to just leave her alone. She seems to know that something is wrong with her cause she will sometimes say "i want to be my self again" she just doesnt believe what we tell her is going on. She only wants to believe her story. Right now she is on some supplement pills like niacin, b6,b complex, vitamin c,zinc and fish oil..It takes time for the body to be saturated with these things to start to drop the symptoms. Before that happens...I have to get her to a comfortable point where she doesnt believe that she is being followed. My main reason for coming here was to ask anybody here if they knew the cost of putting somebody in a psych hospital? How much? And how long? If that isnt the route then what should I do? Psychologist? I think I can do that myself by just listening to her and helping her understand.

Anybody that can help with some info please help.
