Mental illness

[liksome56]

How do you convince a family member to see a mental doctor when they claim they are ok? I have try to soft-spoke that they seem unsound but was upright rejected/refused for few times... Any edmw with such situation?

It's tiring as caregiver to try to assure them it's ok and keep hearing about their fear daily...

Oh...nope... Keep thinking someone in the dark trying to harm them

at a certain point you need to take care of your OWN mental health.

if the person continues, and you had enough, stop taking care of the person and move on.

When I was a young kid, I kept thinking I could see "things" in the dark in my bedroom and got quite frightened but somehow I grew out of it... how long has she/he been having this fear?

Unfortunately some do not feel they have something wired wrongly within themselves. I tried to register family counselling tgt, hoping to pull in the person of concern. But was told that I need consent of everyone to do that. Sigh.. didn’t go in the end. Quarrels never stop even for little things like clothes dropped on the floor by accident or meat pieces got too small for her.

I gave up basically as I moved out of the house.

What if it's true?

Bring the doctor to him/her?

 

[Can Or Not]

Ya maybe bring him to temple to consult medium.

 

[FORSTA]

maybe you can discreetly check what they are doing behind closed doors like internet history, the people they are interacting with etc.. usually the root cause of such behavior need to be find out first rather than just diagnosing it as some kind of mental illness.
theres always a root cause for such problem. mental illness dont just develop out of the blue

 

[ribena.bing]

rather than assume its due to her being mentally unsound, maybe seek a temple medium, or bring her to one.

just because you dont see anything doesnt mean there isn't.

once you see a few different places and rule it out fully, maybe that can help reassure her too?

U better be able to somehow get them to mental health institute by any means else later like the recent daughter kill dad scenario, daughter keep thinking dad want to kill her so she better kill dad first

my hairdresser was like that when she was in her early 50s
she operates a homebased salon, went for haircut and she kept telling me that she heard voices asking her to die so as to protect her family members, i got to know she passed away 1+ month later.

since she was in her early 50s, i suspect it may be due to part of her peri/menopause symptoms.
pls try your best to bring your family member to see a doctor
