Involuntary commitment is what kept my son alive after at least eight or nine suicide attempts due to the refusal of meds and delusions take over he is part of them they run him! When he is not on his medication there were times when I knew without involuntary commitment he would be dead by now not being overdramatic or anything telling you the absolute truth now I understand you don’t agree with it to some degree, however yes it still should be something that we can do but there needs to be more specified guidelines in order for that to happen I mean there should be more criteria specific criteria! Dr. Amador you are amazing I have watched every video at least 20 times! I’ve always told people that if I had one wish for my son of course that was not to be schizophrenic that would be my wish however the other wish would be for him to meet you! I have always been the main caregiver and there was no support from my family they wanted to spend their time being in denial! While they were busy crying and feeling sorry for him and them I was reading I was hungry and thirsty for knowledge on this!! I finally knew what I was dealing with! when he was diagnosed and I stumbled across your videos and your book I’m not sick and I need help! There’s no better person to learn from then someone who has been there and been in our shoes I applaud you! also Devin is in California in a board and care right now he has been stable for almost 2 years thank God for shots! In a week or so he’ll be going in front of the judge to beg to be taken off conservatorship in California and when he does he’s coming home he said! I haven’t seen my son in almost 7 to 8 years he went missing for over a year and a half I searched every day for him! His dream was to make it to California and so he did the delusions took over and told him that’s what he needed to be he tried three times to run away there and he finally made it I had no idea where he was it was a very scary time for us but that was years ago and I haven’t even been able to hug him and hold him since he’s been found. the love I have for MY SON is a very special love one that can’t be measured I have literally put my life on the line for him but that’s what we do! He’ll be coming here to Kansas within a month probably if all goes well I’m so excited to see my son hug him for the first time in eight years he wants to come home! Although I’m scared I have to let him fly he’s earned it! If you were in California I would love for you to meet my son I know that’s probably not gonna happen it’s a dream that I’ve always heard he such a beautiful soul when the real DEVIN appears! And once again I know you’re a busy man and it’s a bit much for me even asking you this! But I would love your feedback on things that I can do to help him when he comes home thank you Dr. and you’re a godsend to all of us that have children with schizophrenia
Bought his books thinking I would find a way to help someone, but just because he was able to help his brother, doesn't mean we not made in series and not everyone is the same
Bravo sir .I now know we have been doing it all wrong..with my 25 year old son Always felt that blaming and engaging in fights does not give Results. But,you avoid one topic that may express the trigger for schizophrenia namely" TRAUMA"
Hard to lissen on this I was stigmatized before I was diagnosed. And I am the same person after the diagnosis. It's not written on my forehead that I'm schizophrenic. The doctors seem to have a hard time with this. It has the theory of chemical balance in its head. Instead, Thomas Szasz believes it has more to do with culture and how we interact with each other than chemical imbalance. People have been cured without Medicines. But not with and no one is well cured with alcohol for alcoholism. Maybe time to call some medicine nisms
