[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so, so sorry, OP.  Try NAMI, if you’ve not already: https://nami.org/Home

If you google “NAMI” and the state/jurisdiction you’re in, you can find their local chapter.  If nothing else, they offer wonderful support and can advise on resources.

It sounds like it would be a long shot, but if your DC is ever hospitalized and you’re in a position to push for injectable antipsychotics, that’s preferable for someone who won’t stay on their meds.  There are only so many that can be injected, though, depending on what your DC has found successful (if any).  You’re not alone in this struggle, painful as it is.[/quote]

Thank you for your suggestion. I have been attending NAMI F2F classes and support groups since 2021 to get better perspective on the illness. With information from NAMI classes, I advocated for DC to get the injectable medication from end of 2021 to mid of 2022. The doctor also gave DC lot of other medication that caused many side effects.  Due to the serious side effects, DC stopped medication and things went downhill again. In spite of knowing a lot about the illness, I could not keep DC medicine compliant. For last month of so I am struggling to convince the hospitals to motivate DC to be medicine complaint, the insurance for preauthorization for intensive therapy, the therapy facilities to start preregistering and DC to agree for intensive therapy. I am drowning with worry![/quote]
