Yes, I also have a nephew with the same diagnosis who lives with my sister-in-law. He’s an adult also and the system does pretty much ZERO to help these families. Their response is always...”they’re adults and can make their own decisions” which is a load of BULL!
How can you make your own decisions when you believe you can time travel? Or hear voices? It’s a terrible time for Eric’s family, and for my nephews who at least do have him home and taking his meds...for the time being anyway.
The system does little for them because leftists nationwide decided years ago to close down psych hospitals in favor of “community care”.They’re convinced that it’s better for a schizophrenic to freeze to death in a doorway (I’ve seen it) than to be confined in a warm,safe,hospital...as was the case 60 years ago.
