hi
so a family frined whose son is severlly suffering from one, and he is getting no support from home. his father is hard on him, thinks he is doing everything on purpose, yells at him ALOT, doesnt understand, calls him stupid, useless, better if not had a son, etc.
the father thinks that the mental illness can be cured if he just sucks it up and deals with it.
the patient on the other hand, is also in denial and out of paranoia acts out, this is not his fault but the father does not understand. he thinks he does everything on purpose
son has no income and has no choice but to live with father.
whenver u appraoch the father, he rubs it off, says pshychiatry is bs, if son wants to live on the street, let him, etc etc etc. son has tried running away a few times. has been hospitalized multiple times.
i feel if he goes back in that household, he will never get better, actualy get worse.
the father does not listen to anyone, not even his wife or other kids. thinks whatever he says is right.
how can i help them? i want the boy to get better, he deserves full support, he cant afford outpatient, or therapy. grandparents are passed away so living with them is not an option.
this is a very hard time for everyone and any suggestion would be greatly apprecaited.
how long does medicaid take? hes coming home from hospital soon?
