Because you’d think in a neighborhood like that, the “elderly parents” would be more conscientious of this sort of thing & would have hired a caretaker. I know you can’t afford to live in such a neighborhood, but this is one of many reasons why people pay top dollar to. To have peace & quiet.


Its clear you have no experience with mental illness. What exactly do you think a "caretaker" would do to prevent this?

And say what? A man is talking to himself in his own yard?


Sad situation-young neighbor (late 20s)--went to college, moved home, never launched and is now suffering from schizophrenia. Spends the days outside, screaming, talking, howling , etc. Lives with elderly parents. My understanding is he is unmedicated.
I see it but don't hear the behavior because I'm a few houses away. next door neighbors are concerned-they have young kids who are outside daily. This is a Bethesda-like neighborhood.

Anything we can do? Should we be concerned? Anyone have experience with something similar.
Thank you!


There are people across the street from my house screaming, talking and howling, also crying and throwing tantrums, every single day. Should I call the police to the preschool?


Only if you live in Bethesda. If you don’t then you should work harder so that you too will then deserve peace and quiet and to live where nothing even the least bit uncomfortable is allowed to happen without a call to the police.

What you seek to not realize is that we are all challenging your assumption that “Bethesda like” means any such thing. I also notice your dig at people with less money than you. That is what “Bethesda type neighborhood” REALLY means. Nasty group of people who can’t even blame schizophrenia for their thoughts and actions.

In other words, you have no experience with mental illness. Caretaker? To do what that the parents aren't already trying to do?

Why? Because a mentally ill person exists?

It’s a safety risk to OP & her family.


There is no evidence of that.

Then the neighbors can afford to all pitch in for a full time health aide, right? But you just want him to go away without having to do anything at all.


It’s not OP’s problem.
