the mental hospitals in your country certainly can keep people for more than a month. — tim wood
Where should she go? If there is a place, it's the business of the hospital to direct you to it or itself to keep her. — tim wood
And there is the question of medicines: are there any she can take that would work? — tim wood
Another thought: paranoid schizophrenia can be a diagnosis of convenience. — tim wood
If your country has nothing, then two things: it's a barbaric state, and you need a different country - easier than replacing leadership. — tim wood
Bottom line, all the pain you may feel on behalf of your sister will avail you nothing and cost you much. Set limits for yourself and stick to them. — tim wood
So, what would you people say is the most moral course of action in this situation? Where should she go? — Amalac
Morally, you should all work together to help your sister. Takes shifts in who looks out for her. — rocksteady88
You simply cannot practically look after someone in such a fugue state as an individual while they are in that crisis mode. It is hopefully possible for the professionals to stabilise your sister, get her sleeping regularly and less paranoid and non-violent. There are drug treatments that can help, and a quiet un-stressful environment helps too. Gardening, work with animals, woodland management... — unenlightened
There is no morality that requires you to do the impossible, or what you have no idea how to do. Perhaps there will be times when you can help, but perhaps the family relationship will actually make it impossible for you to help, but on the contrary, will make your presence an aggravating factor. — unenlightened
Listen to the professionals, but with a little scepticism, and refuse to take on more responsibility than you can reliably cope with. — unenlightened
And easy to say, but the heart is not a corporate strength, professionally competent 24/7 caregiver. And as well the heart has to reflect and make sure it is not serving its own purposes - which it often does. That is, sometimes the heart must yield.It is a question for your heart. — T Clark
I should add that the mental asylums in my country cannot permanently keep people there, they can only keep them there about a month or 20 days, as I said before. — Amalac
Which country is that If you wanna share it of course? — dimosthenis9
Really seems extremely weird to me that there aren't places as to keep permanently people with mental illnesses. Are they spread all over the streets everywhere?? Are there only private mental hospitals that you have to pay for and your family can't afford it? — dimosthenis9
Especially if money is an issue for your family. — dimosthenis9
Make a serious discussion with all the family members (even distant members), ask for their financial help (it is not a shame at all, you are family after all and they probably know already your situation). Send emails everywhere to each one hospital in your country or other countries too describing your situation.
At a desperate effort, even ask for donation as to raise money for that. Go for it via Internet etc. Remember the goal is one :"Get your sister in a place where she could get help" so chaise it till the end. — dimosthenis9
you suffer also by having to live with her it won't change anything at all. It will just make suffering persons 2, and that's all. — dimosthenis9
So, what would you people say is the most moral course of action in this situation? Where should she go? — Amalac
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
