| I am emotionally and physically ill from being a caregiver for my brother with schizophrenia. He is totally delusional most of the time and cannot see he needs help. He has suffered for many years but it's escalating since our father died a year and a half ago. He is on old monthly meds but they are not working. There are 12 step guidelines in other groups like caregivers dealing with loved ones with addiction. What is there for caregivers (any seminars? guidelines on how to preserve our own health and emotional wellbeing? Any courses in teaching family/friends techniques (like a counselor does) in communication skills when talking to someone who is unable to communicate logically? Both the above desperately needed. |
