I think my mom has schizophrenia. What do I do?

Question

I'm scared to call her and talk to her about it because she never listens to me. I think she needs to see a woman psychiatrist right away!

Help!!

Look, I just need someone to call my dad and explain what is going on with her, OK????

I tried to call him and was redirected to an "automatic voice messaging system"

That sucks!!!!!!

Men and women have a lot of difficulty communicating with each other in times of crisis!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPECIALLY in my family.

communicating VERBALLY, that is.

I need someone to do this for me.

Please don't make me cry.

Answer 1

People who are sick never admit they are sick.

I would say look on the internet for signs and symptoms of schizophrenia and see if they match up to your mom. If so, if your dad is around let them know or call the hospital and ask what they can do.

I suggest you do this now.

Answer 2

Try looking into psychiatrists in the area. Never give up talking to her. If she needs help, she needs to get it. And even if there is nothing wrong with her, talking to a psychiatrist never hurts.

Answer 3

not listening to u is not a sign of schizophrenia. But if u are scared you can take her to a mental ward and they can check her out

Answer 4
