Mom of a Schizophrenic

Spiritual LifeStyle

Chapter 13 mom to schizophrenic is a never-ending chapter. In this episode I'm talking about my first born and only son, Adam. The subtle onset of symptoms that I didn't recognize at first and then at 16 years old a complete change overnight. The well-mannered, happy, popular kid was gone and in his place was an angry, unstable, sometimes violent person that I did not recognize. His mental illness has taken the essence out of my son. At 16 he had a psychotic break, they diagnosed him with acute psychosis with paranoia. At 19, they gave him the diagnosis of bipolar. At 20, they gave him the diagnosis of schizophrenia and finally at 24 his diagnosis is schizoaffective. Over the years, getting help for his mental illness hasn't been easy. For the last 10 years he's been in and out of psychiatric hospitals, on several medications, kicked out of Board and Care facilities and now homeless living on the streets.
