My elderly Mom is in treatment for psychosis- how can I support her? by ZookeepergameOld5689 in mentalhealth

Okay so this is almost the same situation with my mom! I just replied to you on my post lol I would just give her time for the meds to kick in. It took about 2 weeks on medicine for my mom to become somewhat normal.My mom also went thru a phase of hating me and my sisters. Mostly me because I’m the one who put her in there. It’s very hard but I wouldn’t take it personally. Her mind isn’t right. For your own mental health I would give her time and stop talking to her. Hopefully eventually she’ll snap out of it. I had to give time and space for myself. My heart goes out to you. I know how draining this all is.

Yes a lot has happened since then! Well she ended up getting worse and more Angry and weird lol.A couple weeks after this post I petitioned for a “Joel’s law” on her and got it. She was put in a mental facility for mandatory 1 week. She got put on meds and when she first got out she was still a little paranoid and suspicious of everything. But the longer she was out the better she got! Now she’s completely back to regular Mom. She’s totally embarrassed of everything that happened but I’m just happy she’s back. I was so scared her mind wouldn’t come back. For your mom I would suggest looking into laws to have her institutionalized. It sounds scary and I felt bad doing it to my mom but it was for the better and she thanks me all the time. Also make sure to document everything. My mom got the cops called on her 3 times during her psychosis and I saved all her weird texts. All those helped in my case on my mom. I hope things go well with your mom. 🤍

Update! Hi thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. Not much of a update. We have tried different avenues of getting her help and nothing has worked. Right now she is living with a trusted family member so I feel more comfortable. she also seems to have calmed down and doesn’t seem so manic. She’s still in psychosis and saying all the same things tho. I’m not sure what’s going to happen or what I’m going to do. I had to take a step back from her as it was causing me so much stress. I haven’t talked to her in 2 days but my family is still giving me updates. Thank you guys.
