[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My point is, having paranoia or calling the cops doesn't actually preclude someone from living alone. I'm not saying it's an ideal circumstance, of course it's not. but without knowing more about someone's level of functioning in actually taking care of themselves it's hard to know. And basically there aren't many long term facilities for someone with persistent mental illness. Those that exist are very expensive. Most live with family, or if not live somehow subsidized on their own ideally with some wraparound services. This is why we have such a problem with homelessness with folks suffering from persistent mental illness. There just aren't adequate supports.[/quote]

+1. No matter what path, it’s going to be a hard life. But many people in her shoes live alone. I think the Britney Spears situation has given people the wrong idea about when people are truly too impaired to be independent (and as a result need a conservatorship or other intervention). It takes much much MUCH more profound impairment than you describe OP. [/quote]
