I'm struggling to get help for my son.

He has been unmedicated for 2 years the voices and personalities are becoming more and more evident.  He won't see anyone, he doesn't think it is an issue.  How can I get him medicated if he won't help himself..... any advice would help

Thanks I'm waiting on CAT and police at the moment hopefully something can be done.  If I can get him to hospital I will call channel 7 news desk if they try releasing him with no help.

Re: I'm struggling to get help for my son.

Hello @Marg

how are things?

was your son detained?

how are you both coping?

he will be a mess not thinking that he is unwell

went through this end of last year

he fled state and now is showing signs of deterioration but I can't tell him that he is unwell as he will cut off all contact. Took me ages to find state he had fled to.

I hope that you both don't have Togo through anything like that.

Re: I'm struggling to get help for my son.

Hi Mohill

thanks for checking in.  It has taken 4 days to have him assessed as very unwell.  Unfortunately the CAT team couldn't get the police to attend so we now have to wait until they can come and transport him to hospital.

@Marg 

I hope hospital has been of some benefit for your boy.  It is a hard call, but sometimes we can carry too much alone at home.

Take care
