    • Close Schizophrenia

      My husband started getting sick about 4+ years ago. He started by worrying alot and then he started thinking that people were trying to put him out of business. He thought someone was bugging our phones and someone was poisioning him (mostly me). He started accusing me of cheating on him with any man. I talked too, he would be fine all day long and when I went to bed he wake me up. He really started flipping out so we took him to get help. Which did help for a while but has since returned.

      I don't know if it was the medicine or my husband he started to take it and it seemed to help. But then he thought I was poisioning him and so he hid it.
