She's never been diagnosed as having any mental illness aside from the odd bought of depression years ago. So no, no meds and no treatment. Fingers crossed they take her in today.

A little, more delusions than paranoia I'd say. She got given some crystal healing bollocks from an ex, slept with the crystals on her stomach last week and keeps asking for Yakult (one of those bio-yogurts) to cure the 'parasites' in her stomach etc. Not sure if that's classed as paranoia, possibly is.
Hmm, still I hate the idea of her having to be on long term meds. It's horrible either way. Fucking mental diseases piss me off. 
Wandering off on her own saying she's looking for something or going on a journey but she has no idea on questioning what this is or where she's going. Asking if the water is polluted or whether TV is controlling everyone. She's just asking general questions about life as if she's trying to decide what's right and wrong and who she is. Some kind of identity crisis or something. *shrug*
26 and depression and one period of being sectioned before although I'm not sure what for, we've only known her a year.
Sounds like it but not being a professional I don't like to categorise people, it's easy to give people the wrong labels with mental illness.

Did she have a bad childhood? Is she traumatized? Maybe she's dissociating. Regardless, there's so many amazing treatments they can give other than just meds. She can learn some coping mechanisms. She really could be okay with the proper care. I'm sorry this is making you so sad.

Nah, family and doctors would never recommend scotch, as that is the obvious cure.
