My wife has schizoaffective disorder and is bi polar. She refuses to take her meds since she believes all her delusions are real. She is now in a situation where she will end up at a state hospital and most likely be forced to take her meds. The question I have is can a person every see that by taking meds for an illness like hers everyday is better than no meds at all and realize her delusions were just delusions? If so how long does it take before a person begins to realize that life without meds is not the way to be? Please share any examples you may have. Thanks
