Good evening Dr. Grief!My mother has been acting very odd over the past few months. She has been hallucinating, talking to herself at times, while other times she is completely fine. We have been trying to get her to a hospital but it seems that she does not realize that she's suffering from some sort of disorder, so we haven't had any luck. Can you recommend a way to get her to a hospital voluntarily? Thanks! --Jay

Not admitting that they are ill and they need to take treatment or visit hospital, are the symptoms of such illness. I think she is suffering from Psychotic illness like SchizophreniaOne solution to your problem could be: give benzodiazepines like clonazepam or antipsychotics like risperidone / olanzapine for a week, regularly. And then pursuade her to visit hospital. She is likely to get agreed voluntarily
