Hi there have read all your experiences ... A close member in my family, like a sister, has just been diagnosed with the same and has been detained under the Mental Health act. She was in an acute psychiatry ward ( dump to say the least), but was transferred to a nearby mother and baby unit which is gorgeous.
She is delusional and paranoid, but no hallucinations evident as such or as yet. Her second child, she has been commenced on olanzapine 10mgs and the dose as planned will be increased. A sad story, her delusions centre on an ex relationship( the father to her two children, the baby is four months and the oldest 3 and a half). Two years of stress leading up to the birth of the baby, etc financial and him !
Im glad ive found somewhere to understand or try to what she is going through... Fortunately she has a great family and friends xx
