This is why we love you in California!!

How do you convince a loved one who is an adult and has a profound thought disorder to seek therapy when they have no recognition of their own condition and think they're perfectly normal and well? - asking as a desperate, anguished mother...

Thank you! I have already met with a therapist (awesome person!) and we are meeting this week to begin that discussion. I appreciate the reply!

Thank you so much for this response!! I will absolutely check out Saga, and our family is very close, so we've all been checking in on my mother to be sure she's doing OK. Mom is in counseling, and she's getting out twice a week to go to an art studio and paint, so she's embracing self-care. I'll likely be taking much time off in the next year to visit and hang out with my father, and support my mom. We are Zooming every Friday since they are in their 80s and we don't want to expose them, and Dad has been a trooper to sit and try to figure out the conversation. He recognizes us still, even if he forgets our names (so we're sure to have them on our Zoom video for him.)

Thank you for the Saga link - I will definitely check that out!
