so i found out today from friend's family that she has paranoid schizophrenia for the past 4 yrs already. First 1-2 yrs she took meds but abruptly stopped taking it on her own and stopped going for therapy. She doesn't believe that she has a disorder and feels that she's normal. Yet, she's always paranoid & angry ...sometimes violent towards objects (which she doesn't realize) . My question is, what can be done to help her? How do people convince someone with a disorder that they should seek help?
