I have a family member currently hospitalized again. It's very amusing to observe (and really really frustrating). He explains how he is the messiah, but that he pretends to only have the messianic complex to the shrink. No amount of reasoning can change his mind. We have to wait for the anti-psychotics to kick in.
- hosh 8y agoDo you think anti-psychotics actually help with delusions? (I don't know if they do or do not so I am curious to know).
- dsego 8y agoYes, they do. I've witnessed it two times so far. It takes time (weeks to months) but the delusions start slowly dissipating and the person gets less and less convinced and they slowly return back to reality. You can also notice how they start thinking more clearly and speech gets more structured and coherent.
- dsego 8y agoNot anymore. This time he's not coming back, the meds aren't working anymore...
