Hello donnapr,   Sorry I couldn't respond sooner.  I was trying to come up with some ideas for how you could proceed.  Please bear with me, I would like to hear more from you about what you did when you called NAMI because I'm surprised by their response.   I feel for what you're going through.  I'm surprised there isn't a NAMI Connection peer support group in your area that meets once a week.  The members talk about what's going on, and then they often go out for coffee or dinner or meet on the weekends to do things together.  The support group members wouldn't tell her to take the medication if she was opposed to it, they might just relate their own stories with how the meds helped them.   The main thing is, a peer support group would give her support and feedback as she sets goals in her life and as she begins to do things to achieve the goals.  You and I know that for someone to remain untreated, it is possibly unlikely that he or she would reach those goals.  Any conversation has to be framed in terms of building the trust so that the family member or friend can gently suggest, "What would you like to do in your life?"  And talk about that, and as the loved one becomes receptive because he or she trusts you, to broach medication as a way of enabling the person to achieve the goal.   You know this.  It's fully detailed as a strategy in Xavier Amador's book, I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help.  It seems like you may be familiar with the book, yet if you aren't, I  suggest you read it.   I am surprised there isn't a NAMI Connection peer support group in your area.  I would be willing to engage in e-mail correspondence with your daughter.  I can be reached at christina.bruni1@gmail.com   Best regards, Chri
