How can schizophrenia be diagnosed?
human
My son is trying to keep his family together. His wife is showing signs of schizophrenia & has for along time. She does not like people , her few jobs last a few weeks at a time, due to something wrong with her boss, etc. She attacks me with unvalidated accusations as being uncaring toward our grandkids. Although the other grandparents aren t as involved as I am. She also talks about her parents lack of Participation in grandkids activities , etc. so it s not just me. She also has been extremely jealous of her sister in law. She is taking Klonopin. I am not aware if she has had a professional psychiatric evaluation & diagnosis for this medication. This past weekend, along with a alcohol consumption, she drove & now has a DUI. Now my son has to contend with her DUI along with her rational behavior and mood swings. They have 4 children, and I am concerned for their welfare , thank heavens they were at home and not in the car with her. Any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. A diagnosis of schizophrenia is not possible at all with the given symptoms. Your son's wife is showing irrational behavior, anger, jealousy, anger, aggression, contentment, is suspicious etc. These symptoms could be due to even extreme stress. I suggest proper evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. K. V. Anand
