Hello,
I’m concerned about my son. He spent a year in another country during his time in the Marines and it was a safe deployment. We would keep in contact with him during his time there Skyping often and he did finE. He went to another base and went through some crap and started telling people that all these terrible things happened while he was there. He spent time in a place for PTSD. They put him on a bunch of meds during this time. Now a few years later with a girl friend and child he still tells the stories and she believes every word. The reason my husband and I don’t believe him or question him is because a military person made contact with us about him because he was telling these stories when there was no dangers there. Is it possible that he scared himself into believing that something happened that didn’t ? When he watches an intense movie or plays a video game he plays like he is “in” the game. Is this schiz? Thank you. |

I can't recall if I've linked you to these articles previously
 (senior dementia, you know...)  However here are links to 3 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that discuss Schizoaffective Disorder. Perhaps some of the information in these articles will be of some help:https://psychcentral.com/disorders/s...rder-symptoms/ https://psychcentral.com/disorders/s...der-treatment/ https://psychcentral.com/lib/living-...isorder/?all=1

Sounds to me that he is experiencing some sort of psychosis (hallucinations and delusions). If he was put in a place for PTSD, the best bet is he has PTSD. Having psychosis doesn’t always mean that the person has schizophrenia. Many other mental illnesses can have psychotic features, like bipolar, depression, and PTSD. I’d talk to his gf about this so you can work together with her to get him the help he needs. PTSD symptoms can be reduced by therapy and meds.

Military..wouldnt trust what they put inside members. Sneaky expiriments and such. I found my voices were part of a military expiriment. A voice would thank me for participating in an expiriment every time i disconnected.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
