[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, you can't talk to her psychiatrist unless she gives written consent (which has to be renewed every year, I believe). I had a brother who was schizophrenic. There was little I could do for him except listen and be supportive on the marathon phone calls. He did give permission to talk to his support people, but I only did so when he was in a down cycle or not responding. The best thing I could do was support his wife and two kids. I spent a lot of time with the kids, provided some financial help so they wouldn't be homeless, and listened. Being a stable presence may not seem like much but it really is a lot to a family trying not to drown. [/quote]
