hi am shiwz. my husband is suffered from paranoid schizophernia and it is diagonised in last month

Well stress with a new wife and work..take some time off work have your second honeymoon....make him feel all will be alright that you are there for him as for meds there are new ones like risperdal and seroquel in have less side affects for some people this a wounder pill  And there is jamieson stressease it is a specialized multi vitamin and mineral stress formula I find that it does help alot....you are a big plus in his life I just hope that there are not street drugs that he takes or over drinking.....he may be not happy in life so for him it might be he has to find himself and realize that there is someone whom cares so much about him and will be there all the way...he should find having to please you first before being down with family might bring him down more......

SHIWZ, I HOPE YOUR HUSBAND IS ON MEDICATION AND UNDER A DRS CARE.

HE NEEDS SOMEONE WHO HE CAN TRUST AND GIVE HIM A LOT OF SUPPORT.

DEPENDING HOW HIS PARONIA COME OUT, IF HE IS VIOLENT AT ALL HE SHOULD BE HOSPITALIZED. IF HE IS JUST SCARED AND THE VOISES HE IS HEARING ARE

SAYING THINGS HE CAN HANDLE, THEN THERE IS NO REASON YOU CANNOT

STAY WITH HIM. GIVE HIM MUCH SUPPORT AND TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT THE VOICES ARE SAYING TO HIM. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SHOULD NEVER SAY TO HIM

THAT HE IS NOT HEARING VOICES, BECAUSE HE REALLY IS. MAKE SURE HE IS

TAKING HIS MEDICATION!!!!!!RIGHT NOW IT IS TOO SOON TO TELL IF THIS IS THE

RIGHT MEDICATION FOR HIM. IT WILL BE TRIAL AND ERROR TO FIND THE RIGHT

MEDICATION. LETS HOPE THIS ONE WILL WORK. HIS SMELL MIGHT BE AFFECTED

AND HIS TASTE MIGHT BE, THIS GOES WITH SCHIZ. HE MIGHT BE DELUSIONAL

AND SEE THINGS THAT ARN'T THEREBUT YOU CAN REASURE HIM THAT IS PART

OF THE DESEASE, ONLY DON'T GET SCARED IF HE DOES NOT BELIEVE YOU.

I KNOW I HAVE TOLD YOU A LOT,BUT THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBURG.

IT WILL BE VERY HARD ON YOU TO SUPPORT AND BE WITH HIM. IF YOU HAVE

FAMILY THAT WILL BE THERE FOR YO AND BE UNDERSTANDING OF HIS DESEASE

YOU WILL NEED THAT. WHAT ARE YOUR AGES? IF YOU DO NOT MIND.

I HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. 20 YRS AGO MY SON CAME

DOWN WITH THIS DESEASE. I WENT TO SCHOOL TO LEARN AS MUCH AS I

COULD IN ORDER TO HELP HIM,SO I HAVE A DEGREE IN MENTAL HEALTH.

ALSO HAVE LIVED WITH IT. I AM CLOSING NOW. BUT WILL KEEP IN TOUCH

IF YOU WOULD LIKE.                                 GOOD LUCK, SANDRA

Hello shiwani,

I understand how you feel about whether or not you can be safe if you haven't known someone with schizophrenia before.  As long as your husband isn't abusing drugs or alcohol, chances are he will not be violent.  Most people with schizophrenia aren't violent unless they have a history of violence or drug or alcohol abuse.

Your husband will need to see a psychiatrist and take his medication every day as prescribed to have the best chance of a full, productive life.  Support and encourage him to do so.  Understand that life won't be easy for him. 

See if there is a support group for family members that you can attend where you live so that you can get support for what you go through living with a husband who has schizophrenia.

With treatment, a person diagnosed with schizophrenia can recover. 

So please encourage your husband to take his medication.

Regards,

Christina
