To see my son become a different person  these past couple of years has been very hard.  Since my son is unaware and at the same time in denial of his mental illness he refuses to sign or voluntarily admit himself to get help. It hurts to see my son in denial of his mental illness because to him its real just like when we see or hear something it's real to us. When my son has major episodes due to his mental illness the police will be called but there is no law for them to take him to get mental behavior assistance unless he fits the profile.  When they ask him questions and he doesn't answer correctly they cannot take him to get help. They are restricted by law to further assist because an adult individual has to consent.
