For the most part he doesn't even think he's ill so approaching him isn't going to fly. It was a bad idea on my part. Let's let this thread go. Thanks.

I don't judge you for wanting to tell your story, being the care-taker you are other half of the story.

Think it over, if you feeling doubts about it now, maybe maybe you'll still have doubts later on. Think about your options, like finding support with a personal friend or maybe there is a web site that has a online support group forum for people with family member with Schizophrenia or maybe a local support group in your community. Schizophrenia Help & News for Families, Sufferers

It is called Anosognosia when a person is unaware of the existence of his or her disabilities like NBD.

Yup, very well versed on Anosognosia. I've read a ton of books, have done loads of research online, and have consulted with a couple of psychiatrists. As far as schizo forums go, tried that route but it's simply too painful hanging in them places. You can only read about parents who have to willfully have their children committed for so long before you want to jump off a bridge.

Re: Anosognosia

What an evil vile thing.

Impaired awareness and anosognosia in mentally ill
