The only people in my family ever hospitalized that we know of were my aunt on my mom's side and a cousin on my dad's side.
My aunt supposedly was given some sort of LSD in a Coke at a student lock in when she was in high school, and it effected her somehow. My other aunt (her older sister) has told me that she reverted to the age of 5 mentally and had to relearn everything, she was about 16-18 at that time. But my aunt doesn't remember it happening to her, never talks about it. Sometimes she'll say things like "ma never hugged me when I was little," but the truth is she completely lost her childhood.
My cousin, however, has sever schizophrenia. He's now in his 60s and has never lived away from home. My great-uncle passed away and only my great-aunt remains to take care of him. It is becoming a big concern what to do when she passes. Although he seems okay on his meds, he can't work and everyone fears he will just give up once she dies.
