[quote=Anonymous]The distorted view of reality is really concerning. There's not much you can do with an adult who doesn't want help until they become a danger to self or others, which is the criteria for involuntary hospitalization, which is usually pretty brief. I would look up hospitals near you that follow recent protocols for treating first episodes of psychosis in case it ends up going that way. I would try to keep the lines of communication open. There's a book called I'm Not Crazy, I Don't Need Help with strategies to try to get mentally ill people to get treated, although I didn't have any luck with my relative.[/quote]
