Greetings,

Hi, This is regarding my mum who is aged 53. She is suffering from this
mental nervousness and depression. I don't know how to term it whether
hallunications or the advanced term like schizophrenia. She is
suffering from this since age of 35, but earlier it was occasional, now
it's sort of regular. I mean the symptoms are like someone is
constantly speaking to her in her ears saying that "your son is in
trouble. Something is happening to him etc etc." Also, she doesn't
trust her relatives like her own sister, daughter etc. The only person
she has some faith and trust is me. When I'm with my mom, I see to it
that she takes medicines regularly, but since from last 10 months, I'm
relocated to another country for a job. So, these symptoms have
worsened and she is not listening to anyone and doesn't take medicines,
she just sits idle and cries sometimes etc. Now, my relatives
forcefully took mom and admitted the nearby psychology centre. She's
now there since last 15-20 days, the doctor says she is recovering but
the only problem is that when she comes back home after a month, then
again after some time she won't listen to anyone and won't take the
medicine or else I will have to leave my job and come back and stay
with her to monitor her but it's very difficult becoz this is a good
job very important for my career growth and I don't want to loose it.
So how do I go about this problem? I'm very tensed sometimes thinking
of my mom? How can i instill a habit in mom so that she takes medicines
regularly without external force? Earlier, doctor used to give her
slight dosage of TRINICALM PLUS and that medicine was very good, the
only side-effect is, one gets sleepy - this is the main reason why my
mom doesn't take medicine.

Group, I need your help very much...Please advise. Thanks for your
time.

Regards,
Dilip
