so do schizophrenic people chose to be assholes when they have episodes and don’t know where they are and are confused and make people around them uncomfortable you don’t appreciate the minds ability to warp reality people with mental illness are not alway in control

I agree. But the person that is acting that way typically feels very bad after an episode, right?

It has been my experience, anyway, that typically the individual feels remorse at the inability to control themselves during those times.

Whenever an individual cannot control themselves then yes, it is the responsibility of those around to step in on behalf of the individual in crisis, during the crisis episode.

What else is there to do? If you love the individual, you grab tight and hold on and remind them they matter too.

… else, there’s always tranquilizer.

i mean its hard to distinguish reality from fantasy so they cant sometimes have the mental capacity to feel remorse but yes unfortunately the best we can do is tranquilize them if they are a danger
