[quote=Anonymous]OP, there is nothing the next door neighbors can do other than be kind and offer support to the parents. It is legal for the schizophrenic son to refuse meds. Many of the meds have very, very strong side effects that are much worse than the hallucination symptoms to the schizophrenic. If the neighbors don't like someone talking to himself in the yard they can move away. In my state the schizophrenic can be hospitalized for 72 hours involuntarily ONLY IF THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEMSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. Your description does not meet those standards. Even if the schizophrenic gets meds when under 72 hour hold they are free to stop the meds upon release. It is totally legal to be an untreated schizophrenic in America. My uncle and brother both had schizophrenia. Both preferred to be untreated and both had lawyers on call. [/quote]
