If family members respond to the feeling being expressed rather than the content that seems to work better. So ,instead of "No you are not hearing voices," say, "That sounds really frightening, how can we help you feel better?"

There is no way to convince him other wise or to try and reason with him. He is tortured and belittled by these voices and will do whatever they tell him. If you've ever experienced this you'll know it is def. not denial. If we try to explain to him that the voices are not real, he says he know that we are hearing them too and that we're just pretending not to in order to make him take meds. that he doesn't need. It's a very emotional thing to witness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18300098189807289.post-59570575354879342272011-07-11T19:49:13.466-04:002011-07-11T19:49:13.466-04:00Is this really true?
