My wife and I have been married for 3 years. She is originally from Romania and became an American citizen in 2004. She was discharged from the psychiatric unit of a hospital near to us in May. She then returned to her family in Romania and she comes back to me on October 1st.
She suffers from schizophrenia and she refuses to take medications for it. Of course, when she was in the hospital she HAD to be on medication (she was put on Invega). After she was discharged she stopped taking it.
I'm afraid that she will have yet another breakdown should she continue to refuse psychiatric medication and this has happened before. I know that medications are not the entire answer but I think that they are helpful to her.
In fact, she has told me that she will NEVER take psychiatric medications again. Again, she comes back to me on October 1st.
Any comments will be appreciated.
