Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Ilse, please don't be offended by this question but has your brother ever had any problems with drink or drugs, the reason i ask is that people who've had problems such as these can have episodes of pychosis which can be horrendous but often lead to them being wrongly diagnosed with Schizophrenia, this was what happened to my cousin. Having said that your brother does sound as though he has Schizophrenia, there are varying degress and unfortunately like your brother not everyone responds to medication. Both your brothers actually sound very like my granda's two brothers, one was like your brother and seemed to have a milder form and was able to live in the community and only had to be hospitalised a few times, the other had a horrific life and was unable to live outwith the setting of a hospital. What i would advise is that if he's going back into hospital a detailed description of how he is on a day to day basis be given to the psychiatric team and a review of his diagnosis to be done and then someone able to advocate for him can discuss his treatment, meds and follow ups etc.... Hope things workout ok for him as i know it's worrying to see someone to love like that. .x Fwd: Re: An answer please > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Danni, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Just know that none of us can fix the world no matter how hard we may try and I am sure that you did all that you could. Your brother is not suffering any longer and he will always watch over you. If you need anything please do not hesitate to ask. You and yours are in my prayers.

I was the one who found him and pronounced him until the hospice nurse came to the house. I was supposed to leave for NIH today but of course I did not. I have not slept or been able to hold anything down. I am trying so hard to be strong for my dad. My Dad is in rough shape. Please keep him in your prayers. The only comforting thing to me is that God has a beautiful angel now. My brother is no longer suffering but I lost my best friend as well as my brother.I just do not know what to do or how to feel. It is so much easier to deal with death from a nurse/ patient relationship. Never thought it could be this hard when it is your own family member. I feel horrible because he did not deserve to have his life cut short. I feel like if I would of done more he still would be here. My friends tell me that I am not the world's fixer eventhough I want to be. I just hope this gets alittle easier as the days goes by.
