[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that schizophrenics can become paranoid and violent. I would be very worried if I were the neighbors. Set up cameras, fence, etc, and help out the parents with county information and resources.[/quote]

+1 Posters saying they're rarely paranoid and harm others are incorrect.[/quote]

No, statistically those posters are correct and you are not. [/quote]

PP here. You can quote statistics, but it's not a rare occurrence for unmedicated individuals with schizophrenia to experienced paranoia and become aggressive. (I didn't say most.)[/quote]

A. This poster actually has no idea whether or not her neighbor is unmedicated. None. Zip. Zero. I realize the armchair mental health warriors here strongly believe that if people with schizophrenia just took their meds, they would act normal. That is not the case.

B. It is nowhere near common enough to justify calling the police just because a person is behaving in an unseemly way in public. What exactly do you think the cops are going to do?[/quote]

I never said to call the police. I'm making a statement about the potential for aggressive behavior. If a person with schizophrenia is screaming and talking to himself/herself in the front yard unattended, then the meds (if being taken) are not effective. This individual with schizophrenia does not sound stable. [/quote]
