First I want to say I'm sorry that you and the family have to go through this. It must be very difficult. I speak from experience I agree that sometimes when you are in the midst of things... well, what I'm trying to say is sometimes it doesn't matter what people say to the person who is experiencing psychosis that you should follow your heart. One thing that a therapist once told me of her experience with a patient who was very much removed from reality and he would talk about the various people in this place that he often visited which didn't exist only in his mind. She said one thing that she said that seemed to get through to him that wasn't denying him his version of reality was that she asked to go with him and meet the king of this land and she said she thinks she really got to him and made him really kind of take a look at his reality... anyway I hope this helps and makes some sort of sense to you. Sometimes things just take time and patients I have been in various programs and more psych wards than I would like to count and have seen a lot of different cases of various psychosis and some people you can't get through to no matter what, you can't reason with someone who is totally irrational; it just can't be done. Hang in there. hugs... Danielle
