Boyfriend refusing treatment, help!
My boyfriend of 6 years was recently diagnosed with psychosis a few weeks ago. He at first agreed to following the treatment plan. He was somewhat aware that something is wrong with him and that the delusions he was having were not real. He also smoked ALOT of weed before all of this. I am not a fan myself and have always wanted him to quit. I personally believe the weed had something to do with this but that’s just me I could be wrong. This last Saturday we went to a wedding which I didn’t think was the best idea but he really wanted to go. There was talk prior to this about him not wanting to take his medication anymore. Well that Saturday he refused along with Sunday night. He is showing signs of paranoia again and has been talking again about “trusting people and playing games”. I think he’s going back into psychosis. When he was taking his meds I was seeing improvement. Now I’m seeing some of the same stuff he was doing before. And this last week he believes its his moms and my fault he ended up at the mental hospital. He no longer believes anything was wrong with him. I am scared and I am at a loss of what to do. I am mentally exhausted. Normally he’s the sweetest person ever. Not a mean bone in his body. But how he’s been talking to me because of the illness is the complete opposite. If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to add , that once I did actually accept the fact that there was something wrong . It was challenging to find a doctor I felt comfortable with , and a more detailed diagnosis , and a treatment plan that works for me , just a little head’s up , hope all works out for you folks , and mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of . With the right help and support it can make one stronger , peace - huffy-60 said:
Hi , my name is Jim , I was diagnosed with a mental disorder since 1987 . Unfortunately that’s one of the cruel characteristics of mental illness and the stigma associated with mental health issues , I remember thinking that there was nothing wrong with me , but as time passed taking my medication and then then thinking that, I no longer needed them . Unfortunately it took me a long time to accept that I do
