I agree with you. because of my experience with my own mental illness and being fortunate after years of dealing with it successfully and getting to a healthy state of mind. I decided to rent out a room to a young man that had schizophrenia. I lasted only two month before I had to evict him for my own mental health.
That's the thing - schizophrenia is dangerous, and even if you want to help, sometimes you just can't. I'm glad you were able to safely evict him and for conquering your own mental issues. Congratulations on that very difficult accomplishment!
I agree and disagree. it can be dangerous to deal with but most times it is not...reading the situation is real hard and most people would not know if it is dangerouse.....I am 59 years old and because I have had a lot of experiences with other schizophrenics over the years I felt I could safely navigate his ilness the only problem was that women were not safe because of his delusions. He was a good man in that even when delusional he was trying to be a good person. I also could not leave him alone with my dogs. he loved them but if he was having an episode he could walk off for three days with one of my dogs or just leave the door open. The guy disappeared for a week and I only found out where he was by contacting his parents who eventually found out he had been hospitalized after three days of wandering around the town when he tried to enter a house he lived at as a kid and was chased off by the family and found later after the incident wandering down the street with no shoes a couple miles from him breaking in the house. he probably was hospitalized 1/3 of the time he lived with me. this young man would of benefited from a permanent placement at an asylum.
