A member asked:
My wife is having psychosis and is schizophrenic. she cannot deal with anything and believes untrue things? should i go to the er with her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is tough.: Schizophrenia is a chronic and challenging illness. Emergency rooms are when people are at risk of dying from whatever cause and requiring attention immediately. From what you write, she might really benefit from a full evaluation, stable medication and supports which should not be you 100% of the time.
