My father and brother are diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and a sister suffers from schizoaffective disorder.
My father and sister have similar behaviors that doesn't seem to be treated by their medication: a lack of concern for others- they are selfish, cruel, demanding, manipulative, dominating, and prone to physical violence when they don't get what they want. They revise the truth when they are caught doing wrong, never accept blame, and will try to get away with just about anything.
That isn't from schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder is it?- Are they some kind of sociopaths? My brother is a sweetheart when he's on his meds- his personality changes once he no longer feels threatened; but even on meds, my father and sister just as selfish and mean. Why?
An example- my sister hit another sister, 6 mos. pregnant, in the face with a hard soled shoe. She claimed that she did it because my other sister was kicking her- a lie. She just didn't want to share the couch.
