Need help with my Mom

Health and Recovery

Hi there,

My mom was diagnosed with schizophrenia (the paranoia type) about 8 years ago. After being in the hospital for a year, she was put on medication and ever since then shes been okay. Lately, she’s been acting like how she was when she first got sick. She’s been crying all the time, and shes been extremely paranoid. She’s been telling me that people are following her, out to get her. And when were out in public she’ll tell me that people around us are saying things to her even when they’re not. She recently told me that she’s not actually schizophrenic, but a victim of remote neural monitoring. Is that actually a thing? She said that the NSA have been doing it to people and that there was even a lawsuit. Regardless, I know my Mom is ill and I’m not too sure what to do. I know shes taking her medication, but I don’t think they’re working anymore. I love my Mom and I don’t like seeing her like this, but I really have no idea what to do.

Please help!

@samoodie I’d like to encourage you to join our forum for Family and Caregivers that can be found at:

While this forum is for people with schizophrenia and other closely related psychotic disorders, the Family forum is specifically for people like yourself, who have a loved one they are concerned about.

Also, please let your loved one know about this forum as they may find it helpful.

Best of luck,

You should be aware that there is a family section of the forum. @Moonbeam can tell you more. Personally I can tell you that you need to make sure that she stays on her medication. If it doesn’t work she needs to tell the pdoc so that she can try other medications.
