Can it be that he has schizophrenia?

Question

He can be the most loving person in the world and next he is acting wierd hallucinations, delusions and violence. Just out of the blue and the next day he won't remeber a thing, reallyhe will not remember a thing. I think that his biological mother had it she lost it when he was 5 and things were never then same - she still does strange things from what we hear.
so can it be that he has schizophrenia? I don't know anything about it, how would I find out and what can I do?
Take a look at my other question if you like...

When he has a couple of drinks he totally wigs out. We are under a lot of stress, he is on several meds because he is going to have shoulder surgery soon - serious injury and he is a lot of pain and he just started acting this way since he started taking the meds. They gave him something to help him sleep but is is usually an anti-depressent

my hubby is who i am talking about

I think this all has to do with taking anti-depresants when you don't needt hem. Why would a dr give you an anti depresant for an injury?

Answer 1

To determine if someone has a problem, you don't label it until you find the cause.

Talk to the doctor about his symptoms. Pain medication can cause delusional thinking. Antidepressants might. But it is likely that the combination with the injury is aggravating a problem, new or existing.

Symptoms like you describe can happen in many settings. I see strange behavior, including violence or paranoid behavior in the post-surgical setting (after surgery). People can also exacerbate preexisting problems.

Perhaps your husband has an illness. But figure out the cause of the problem before you label him.

This is how healthcare professionals do it. Rule out the causes, identify the problem and then treat it properly.

The mother may have a problem. But just focus on your husband. Ask the primary physician for assistance. Consult with your surgeon too. Sometimes medical care providers need to collaborate to solve the problem. You shouldn't have to do this yourself.

Answer 2

It sure sounds a though he does have it. Especially if his mother has it. His behavior sounds very schitzophrenic. The only thing you can do is to be there for him, support him and when you feel that the time is right let him know that you're concerned and that he should seek help. There are a lot of medications that can stabilize him and it definitely sounds like he needs them.
Best of luck!

Answer 3

If he wants help, he'll have to see a psychiatrist. If he is under 18, parents/guardian could make him go (can't make him like it though) but if he's over 18, he's an adult. If he doesn't want help, he doesn't have to go get it. The only way you could force him is if he is a danger to himself and/or others. then the hospital could hold him for 3 days for further testing.

Answer 4

WHO are u talking about? ur brother? ur dad? ur uncle? ur friend? ur cousin? ur boyfriend? ur husband? WHO!?!!!

if ur really that worried about whoever it is, take it to the mental hospital. if hes violent u NEED to get him help before he hurts someone bad, possibly kills someone. once the dr's do their prodding and probing, they should be able to figure out the cause of this crap, and put him on some medication to control himself. then u could bring him home after its had some therapy. otherwise, if its mental disorder goes unacknowledged, it can get worse to the point of no return, at which case u better lock it up and throw away the key.......how do u think cho got outta hand with virginia tech massacre?????? cuz NO ONE PAID ATTENTION to his abnormal mental state!

Answer 5

it does sound like a mental disorder, but I'm not sure it's schizophrenia. he should be evaluated to find out how to get help.
