Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello good afternoon i have few questions i believe that my mother is mentally unstable i was wondering how i can go forward to get her help she refuses to go get help she has ADD and OCD (to the max) she lies and makes up these crazy stories she thinks she has seen as her son im very concerned any ideas on how to get her help
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can understand your situation. A patient who is psychotic, resists any reference to her/him as psychotic or have problem. Therefore they also resist being treated. That is the common nature.
But, let me assure you, there are always ways to convince them and get treatment. The best and working method is love and affection. They never want to be bullied. The key lies in the trust. You have to find a person whom she trusts or you transform into a person whom she trusts. Never insist that she has disorders. Motivate them to do whatever they does and they fall in your trap within may be around some weeks.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
