question: My uncle is schizophrenic and is having a paranoid episode at present. This evening I witnessed him walkin the streets turning around in circles and kicking Walls? My mother has been his sole career all for the past 20 years but she is no longer able emotionally for the stress. My question is how obscene is the behaviour of a person wth schizophrenia that warrants intervention or hospitalisation? He is a very gentle man and is nit a threat to himself or anyone else. He justbhadvhis injection 10 days ago having missed it for the previous two months! I don t no what to do! I m living in Ireland
