Hope he takes his meds at some point. His delusions sound very intense but it doesn't mean he will be like that forever. I was also unmedicated for a while around that age...

MrFingers07 10/23/21 1:16:56 PM #5:	Severe mental illness and the law part 400: last night I look on my security camera and there are officers at my house looking around but I wasnt there. I panic thinking something has happened with my son so call the police The dispatcher tells me did you know your son has been calling the police all day? She said in this ominous tone. I said no I didnt but what was going on. Hes been spouting absolutely bizarre things on social media for months abt conspiracies involving the Freemasons . He goes between the Freemasons, something about will smith and jada pinket smith, and a nonstop claim about a ring of child molesters throughout Waco. Its all he talks about. Hes shifted to severe drug use and is homeless, and has been arrested several times So I thought this is it. This is the phone call. Theyre going to tell me my son is dead. She said she would prefer the sergeant call me so I urged her to make it fast. A few minutes later he called. Our son had been arrested running naked down the street screaming They picked him up and then when they got him into the car, he couldnt pull his beat the insanity Turing Test which hes mastered so that for brief moments and he is lucid and convincing. No, his thoughts were disorganized and so they took him to the hospital. They gave him emergency detention order allowing this to happen, but here is what is so insane he was in jail last week for shoving someone at a grocery store yelling abt some sort of conspiracy, and they wouldnt even give him an assessment My wife is his legal guardian (I just couldnt do it again emotionally, plus it all just seems pointless as as a mechanism, guardianship hasnt bought us one thing). But she couldnt even get them to give him a psychological assessment in jail bc hes 20. When she was able to finally help get him transferred to a hospital outside of town, which took her about three days of nonstop work, to a place that had promised to reserve a bed, the transport gets him there only to learn the judge hadnt done some technical thing So they couldnt take him. Took him back to Waco and best I can tell, just let him out at some random place. On Thursday he texts me and says all this horrible stuff happened to him in jail, so I was absolutely freaked out. Canceled classes, told him we had to meet asap Told him our focal point for us (Sergios burrito truck, my favorite) since his phone was abt to die, and then went there. For four hours I sat there. He never showed. My wife said he went there instead and wasnt acting like anything had happened in jail, and he never said again He had a schizoaffective diagnosis from a lengthy stay at a public hospital. I have the most confidence in that bc of the patient collection of data and repeated observation in a more controlled environment. Plus the medication clozapine and lithium actually made him function On clozapine, the guy is just completely himself. No psychosis, no agitation, anger, hostility, hes funny again, intelligent, kind, thoughtful, talkative. But off of it, he doesnt resemble anyone Ive ever known or ever heard of. So why not take clozapine, an antipsychotic? Because god told him not to bc it will interfere with his rap career. Dont get me wrong, his music is phenomenal. Its heart breaking, raw, true with excellent beats he got from who knows where, with very creative overlays of his voice. Its brilliant actually. But this god character is driving me insane. Just take the medication! Why are you burning your life down, your familys down, and harassing this entire community like this? The share of public resources consumed by my son EASILY exceeds 99% of the rest of the population in Waco If you told me that per capita, he has consumed the most, I wouldnt even be surprised. I would love to meet the sad soul with more and give their family a big hug and a stiff drink. We all won this perverse lottery no one even knew they were selling tickets for Its hard to convey the failures weve encountered bc they defy imagination. Heres one. He had a schizoaffective dx based on a lengthy stay. One day, he gets an emergency detention order for his stuff and is transferred to a hospital over the weekend A doctor working there on contract sees him. No review of records, not even sure if they could get the records honestly, and wont talk to us bc at that time we werent his guardians. But even if he couldve, they have no incentive to do they tend to ignore us He spends 15 min on a Saturday reviewing him, writes down AND TELLS our son that our son doesnt have schizoaffective disorder, just anxiety and gives him a script for Xanax. Just like that. Then my son says like now Ill never take that medication! And then others hear too So this week, some random clerk made some suspicious comment to my wife trying to get mental health deputies to do some impossible Hail Mary and says do you even have a schizophrenia diagnosis? She said. I wouldve lost it. Do we have a diagnosis?! Good lord is this a joke? I am not one of these who says the system is broken. I will just say that I am to the point where I do not even think its solveable whatsoever. The civil liberties afforded to the severely mentally Ill are ironclad rights. You cannot hospitalize involuntarily without threats Which means in our case, our son will have to literally hurt someone in the community before we get any help. He just commit violence against someone or himself BEFORE HE GETS HELP! Its so absolutely backwards I dont even have words. Advocates for the civil liberties think they are doing them favors but arent there when theyre homeless, in jail, prison or dead. Theyre doing their own moral dogoodery while the rest of us are barricading our doors wondering if we are going to get hurt while we sleep. I just cant even wrap my head around sometimes any of this. Im just a normal adult. My wife is a therapist so she navigates it better but Im just a normal guy. And this is some kind of Kafka like beaurecratic maze that everyone has an opinion abt which door is the right door But in reality, no one actually knows which door is the right one; theyve just heard of another door so they tell you that one. But then you exert countless hours searching for the said door, you get there, you open it and it opens to a brick wall. There was never a door there I just dont see the end game anymore. I dont see how this ends if he doesnt get long term residential care for substance abuse and treatment of his schizophrenia. None of these fake silly local things that dont do anything. He needs long term residential care. But we cant --- :D Brawlin' Mains: R.O.B., Lucario, Pikachu, Wolf <cite>MrFingers07 posted [p:959315352] in Twitter th...

That's not a condemnation of the idea, by the way, just a legitimate question I don't have an answer to. Much of the objections that drove the deinstitutionalization movement were pretty much purely political. Like, there's a reason people almost universally see electroshock therapy (ECT) as some sort of completely barbaric practice, while it remains a good treatment for some patients.

Im not sure why youre arguing with me. We are in agreement.
