Is It Possible That My Mother Has Mental Disorders?

By karinallima October 11, 2020 21 answers Last updated October 11, 2020

Hi, I'm an adult girl. My parents have been divorced for 13 years and I live with my mother, who is 40 years old, and my younger half-sister (from my mother's second marriage, which also ended in divorce). For several years (7, 8) I have been impressed that my mother is behaving rather strangely, and lately the problem has deepened. We live in a small town, she doesn't let me go out after 8 o'clock even to the store, and if I go out before that hour she is constantly called to ask who I am with and where I am, she constantly says that someone is watching us, that we have been spotted and I don't go for coffee because they poured something (drug) into my drink. The last time my nerves couldn't stand it and I told her I was the age I wanted to go out, she called the police and asked to be detained because I had been aggressive with her ... It made an impression on me that at one moment she may be in a trance and shout like crazy, and the next moment she may laugh. Sometimes she also forgets or has her vision of something that happened. I don't know what to do anymore, this situation is unbearable - I feel like my psyche is collapsing with each passing day .. I, like my mother, started to think after the test was positive, whether she herself pours them on me ( because otherwise I don't know what it may have come from) ... I don't know when to turn, because she won't agree to go for an examination. I doubt it is schizophrenia, but I don't know how old it is and what the symptoms are. Please if anyone has an idea of ​​what could be the cause of this mental disorder (if any) or give some advice let me know! Thanks in advance! that at one moment she may be in a trance and shout like crazy, and the next moment she may laugh .. Also sometimes it happens that she forgets or has her vision of something that happened. I don't know what to do anymore, this situation is unbearable - I feel like my psyche is collapsing with each passing day. because otherwise I don't know what it may have come from) ...

   Girl, did you take any medications before and during the test? Otherwise your mother is definitely crazy-sorry :(

   Horror is this: X Are you sure that no one is watching you and no one is really pouring something into your drinking. If you are sure, then your mother has a problem. Try talking to her or your father. The best thing you can do is save yourself and get out of there. Sometimes, in most cases, in your quest to help hopeless cases, you become one yourself. I tell you from experience. Beware. Success!

   I think she really has a problem. It is possible that there is something that hides from you, but you would definitely feel - you still live together. I'm not very familiar with these drug tests, I've heard that it also has side effects - drugs, alcohol ... Dig through the net - there must be information. As for your mother, I don't think you can do anything on your own. If you have close relatives, talk to them, but delicately. Another thing you can do is start playing her game - you seem to believe her, you seem to be worried about the "situation". And in this way you will gain her trust and gradually calm her down. This method, of course, would only work if there were no serious psychological disturbances. There was a site for online psychological counseling - you can check there. If the moderators allow to publish the link - e-therapy. bg

   There are only 2 options. Either 4 is right and your mother made them some and from there she is driven by paranoia, or she really has a mental disorder. Ask her, talk to her very seriously why she thinks they are watching her, if something happened, if she did something. I have personally heard from acquaintances how some of them got involved with the mafia, that they did not tell their family and from there they sent them to the insane asylum, and then the family warmed up that the situation was hellishly hot - loans, threats ... You always have to think in both directions. Yes, there is exactly such a deviation, exactly the same symptoms, I forgot what his name was, but I'm sure. However, there is a chance that your mother is right, so what do we do? Ask her, if it becomes very clear to you what kind of paranoia we are talking about, turn to a doctor or your stepfather (unless he is a mobster; dd).

   These substances that were found in your test are the common name for sleeping pills and sedative antidepressants. I don't see why someone in the coffee will "pour" you something like that. It is possible that your suspicions that your mother put something secret in the food are true. This is horror! Be sure to talk to a close relative! Does she herself take sleeping pills? Apparently he throws some in the food ....

Kay-johnson answered · October 11, 2020

   In my opinion, your mother manipulated the test or poured something herself. EXPORT QUICKLY. See your father secretly and tell him about your condition, let him give you advice, to help you find a home and a job, if you study - go part-time, BUT GET OUT OF THERE. Take care of your sister by talking to your father. Now you know why your mother's men dumped her. He seeks help from the social services because the child cannot grow up like that. Do something, don't be a victim, you are already an adult and you will or you will not, you have a responsibility for your sister. Your mother is crazy, but she is an adult, you can't do anything by force if she is not publicly described

   First, sad but true - this is paranoid schizophrenia. The mildest form of schizophrenia, but very unpleasant. Patients do not agree to voluntary treatment and over the years it becomes increasingly difficult to withstand such cohabitation. I have a relative with the same symptoms, and both of her obsessions are obsessive jealousy of her husband, plus the obsession that he pours and even injects drugs so she can go out when she sleeps. Otherwise, she looks completely normal, but when she succumbs to her psychosis, she becomes horrible. That's all she talks about, and it seems that this fantasy of hers makes life meaningful. Gradually, to smooth out his thesis includes new and new plots - that people come secretly who deliver the drug, that anyone who calls her crazy is in the conspiracy and bad, makes her magic, etc., etc. And all this began with a desperate attempt at control and manipulation, and this in time deforms the mind, and it begins to deceive itself and enters itself into its own trap. It is this tendency to manipulate that explains the positive test in your case. Your mother wanted to prove to you that they were pouring drugs on you to stay at home! The goal justifies the means - and your wife has poured various things to "come straight" and not go out anymore, it is possible that for other reasons she does not want to let you go, but this is the smartest thing that has crossed her mind - This is the official thesis for you. However, pay attention - she poured various things on you because she was sure that no one was drugging you outside. Otherwise, why would she do it if she expected the test to be positive? that they pour drugs outside to keep you at home!

   Girl, your mother is not a schizophrenic but suffers from a phobia of not losing you, she is aware that you are an adult and according to her this will convince you that society is bad is the only way to keep you a little longer. I think she puts benzodiazepines and barbiturates in your food and then makes you take a test to convince you that she is right. This action inclines us to think that she is ill, but still we are all more or less. Every mother nowadays is afraid to let her daughter out in the evening, some people are really tempted and I will not be surprised if they upset their children because of their own fear. What to do. You are an adult, start working and move to the big city. If you take your mother by force, if you take her to a doctor, your underage sister stays at home because you have no income to support her.

   From the author: Hello everyone and thanks for the answers! At first I think I'll do a test on my sister to make sure she's fine, because unfortunately her father died 2 years ago and I can't turn to him ... And as for my father I only hear from him on the phone and sometimes we see each other because his current wife doesn't want me to visit them ... In general, the situation is complicated and I seem to come to terms with each passing day, because of my sister and the fact that I don't have forces-I want a little peace. I was thinking of approaching it as if I believed and I wanted both of us to do another type of research, because for example some drugs act on the nervous system or something like that, I don't know exactly how to formulate it and take action, in at the moment everything is very confused for me ...

   From the author: To comments 1 and 3 - I consulted a pharmacist for all the drugs I have used and he told me that they can not work because they are such as analgin, aspirin, etc. To comment 4 - During life I have not used any kind of drug, nor have I moved to a company where someone uses it. I really choose my friends, no matter how much my mother doesn't trust me, I go out with 2 or 3 girls we've known since childhood. I have no relatives who deal in drugs, let alone the mafia ... my father has a regular job from which he earns his money honestly, as well as my stepfather (before he died). Go to comment 9 - Thanks for the information, I will be more interested on the net about this paranoid schizophrenia, about the symptoms, when it manifests, how the patients are treated, etc.

AngeelLily answered · October 11, 2020

   I don't want to "get you in the movie," but in the end, these are symptoms that the use of benzodiazepines and barbiturates can also cause. Really check if someone is trying to harm you. At least once, make sure that someone is watching you, who has access to your food, do you know people who take such drugs, do they have access to your home, etc. My mother is in a similar condition and I know how severe it is but at some point, when you perceive that everything he tells you is "madness" and nonsense, he can tell the truth. There is evidence (the test). Do all the family tests. Otherwise, from experience I will say that, unfortunately, such people do not want to be treated and it is very difficult ... Watch your life and help as much as you can.

   To the author: According to the symptoms described by you, your mother suffers from paranoia and if adequate measures are not taken, this disease develops and the prognosis of the disease is not good. The worse point is that living next to a person with mental disorders is unpleasant and harms your psyche. If you are an adult, you have the right to hire a lawyer and request compulsory treatment, but I don't know if you have the financial means to do so, and I also don't know if you have the desire and realize that this is a serious disease that will develop and the picture is not pleasant. Not to mention that such people turn their loved ones into enemies, but at the same time they are dependent on their presence and you have to think about your personal life. I'm pretty sure she puts drugs in her food to prove her crazy theories. I'm sorry that I can't calm you down and tell you something optimistic. People with mental disorders are a big scourge for their families. Treatment is difficult - with medication and psychotherapy. Some people are simply more likely than others to develop mental illness - heredity, low stress tolerance, poor social environment. And some unpleasant event triggers a mental illness. Another important thing you need to know is that in the case of paranoia, the patient is adamant that he does not suffer from it. He would not admit to anything in the world because he does not realize how damaged his thinking is. So you decide how you will act. I wish you success and common sense!

   From the author: Hello, thank you for the answers! I want to ask if anyone is aware of the side effects of taking benzodiazepines and barbiturates. In a few days I will do some tests again and it will be understood and even if it turns out that my mother put something on me I will not leave her anything, that I am an adult, my mother gave birth to me and if there is any mental illness I will I try to help her as much as I can. I just have to tighten up, because at the moment everything is very confusing and the unknown is killing me. I want to get acquainted with all the facts and consider all the options to be prepared for a possible result, so any information will be useful to me. Thanks again to everyone who responded and responded to the topic!

   To the author: Now I remembered that your mother put the drugs in the food, because, in my opinion, she takes such drugs - sedatives. The worst side effects are addiction and withdrawal crisis. But I don't think she put enough on you to get used to them. Otherwise, like all drugs, these lead to a variety of problems - from purely physical such as urticaria, for example, to behavioral such as drowsiness, difficulty thinking, dizziness. In addition, some barbiturates harm the respiratory system. Of course, you should not abandon your mother, she just needs treatment, because she is helpless in the face of her paranoid thoughts and behavior and will become increasingly inadequate, which harms all of you. I guess the divorces have had a bad effect, but it may have been the case before. I hope everything goes as painlessly as possible for you and I hope I was useful to you. Soul

   Girl, your mother is not schizophrenic. Schizophrenia is triggered at a young age, and she is already 40. It is more likely to be early menopause or premenopause - the symptoms are close to this condition. Moreover, she was left without a husband. There is such a group of women in whom the primary sexual instincts are very strong and in the absence of sex they literally get hysterical and crazy, I have even heard of cases when they have to be given special injections so as not to get angry. It is best for your mother to have hormonal tests and take the prescribed medication.

kaleyy22 answered · October 12, 2020

   In my opinion, such bold diagnoses on the Internet, and by people who are not doctors, much less psychiatrists, is, to put it mildly, ridiculous. The solution to the problem is hardly that simple. I have some ideas: 1. Benzodiazepines are prescribed only on green prescriptions. They cannot be bought freely at the pharmacy. Did your mother go to a neurologist, a psycho, or a GP who prescribed them for her, if she drank them alone and eventually put them on you? Barbiturates can be bought more easily. 2. It's very likely that your mother really has a mental problem - I sincerely hope it's not necessarily schizophrenia. There are so many other psychics. diseases. If she is afraid of a psychiatrist, you can first try to convince her to go to psychotherapy and clarify the problem. If you suspect something more serious, the psychologist will suggest that you need a psychiatric examination and treatment. 3. In my opinion, comments such as abandoning her - are immoral and inhuman - you who advise her like this, would you abandon your own mother? Whatever illness she has, she needs care. You will not regret it. The mentally ill are lost without a family. 4. The possibility of external monitoring, influence, intervention, etc. are unlikely. Hardly anyone will take the time to do just that to you. And what a benefit it would be. Whatever you do, don't be afraid, think with your head, I see that you are a smart girl. There is always a solution. are unlikely. Hardly anyone will take the time to do just that to you. And what a benefit it would be.

   From the author: To comment 17: I do not think that the symptoms are due to early menopause or premenopause, because as I wrote in history these symptoms have been present for 7, 8 years, but in milder forms, and recently the situation has worsened ... Somewhere in the previous comments I read about paranoid schizophrenia and I became interested and read a lot of materials and articles in which it was written that it can be unlocked at the age of 35 or earlier, but the symptoms have passed. more easily and imperceptibly, and then a period of intermission (improvement) has occurred. To comment 18: Thank you for your comment and support! As far as I know, she didn't go to a neurologist, but I don't think she would have told me even if she had. I have not noticed taking any kind of pills unknown to me. I tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't say a word about it, according to her, she thinks very soberly about things, even more than the others, and for her I am very naive and trusting and therefore I do not think like her (these are her words). I sincerely hope there is no mental disorder, but other than paranoid schizophrenia, I don't know what else it could be. I don't sleep all night and I think about how to get her to go for a check-up, and also all the stress of the upcoming test and result (because I don't know if 10 days would be enough to clear my body, even if it is was once), as well as the aggravated situation at home have an impact on me and I feel like I close myself in and get depressed ...

   Your mother, as you describe her, has paranoia and / or bipolar depression. The condition is difficult and can be caused by medications or drugs. It is not impossible, but it is very difficult. Most likely your mother is ill. Search the net for tests (questionnaires) for various diseases. Most likely, if the condition is advanced to show very positive results. You have to go to a doctor - a psychiatrist. Current medications can stabilize her and make her behave normally. But the test for psychotropic substances is a test. It cannot be changed by your mother's condition. It is very unlikely that your mother put the medicine in water or food. In the state in which she finds herself, she experiences constant fear and panic. He can hardly make a meaningful plan. Take another test. Without telling your mother. The two groups of drugs for which you have given a positive are rarely used together and are only on prescription. And something important - if you prescribe drugs it is best to start taking them in a hospital setting, not at home. However, the doctor decides. If you start taking them home, read the instructions carefully. If there are side effects similar to psychosis, the probability of taking his own life increases many times over. You have to be with her these first weeks. To control it. Also by letting him take his medication.
