My partner constantly hears voices in his head: How can I be there for him?

Signs of schizophrenia, my brother had this… if he’s not being upfront with the doctors you need to be his voice! It’s not a game, it will gradually get worse and I promise it will be one of hardest journeys you will ever walk with him, it will test you in every way imaginable.

  1. Non synthetic b vitamins! Deficiency in B vitamins, especially B12 are strongly linked to mental health, mood, depression and Schizophrenia. Please don’t make the mistake of thinking just because someone east plenty of dairy, meat of eggs that deficiency’s not possible. Trust me, I know! Also standard vitamins won’t cut it. When you know how they make these “vitamins” you wouldn’t want them… some are made from. Some examples include coal tar petroleum and acetylene gas.
  2. Gut health using good bacteria are essential for absorption of nutrients. Dysbiosis and diverticulitis and also liked to mental health etc.
  3. People get tricked into believing the foundations of health are more complex then they are. I’m happy to send more info as it can be hard finding correct information. Here’s an excellent reference for natural vs synthetic vitamins. The vitamins are only a short term solution though because probiotics are actually capable of making vitamins, b vitamins that suit our bodies needs. There are lots of lies being told. Just saying. Sure see your dr but try natural. If they put him on anti schizophrenic meds then he won’t be able to have b vitamins or at least that’s what a girl I know’s been told with her meds… ironic but that’s typical of big pharma.

I would agree with others who say go to the Dr with him and make sure they understand how bad it is, that he’s even suspicious of you. If you can’t go, write a letter or call them… This has the potential to lead to violence. Be careful and good luck.

My best friend is very similar. And has gone to many professionals. None have prescribed him meds I truly think he needs. :kissing_heart:

If you know for sure he isnt using drugs which could cause this then he definitely needs psychiatric help. Maybe he should try to check himself into an inpatient program so they can get it figured out. If he wont then he needs meds asap to get his head straightened out. If he isnt being honest with the doctors then YOU need to. Someone needs to speak up for him if he wont do it himself. And be careful, very careful. This could turn very badly if he doesnt get the help he needs. I have a relative like this and she can be very dangerous.

Pls have his bloods checked for vitamin b12 at the very least. If it’s low or high he may have to supplement with methyl b12 or have injections. Have him checked for parasites, mycotoxins, other vitamins levels, bacterias and strep titres. It’s probably worth seeing a neurologist.

He needs immediate help, before he becomes a danger to himself or others. He may not be a violent person, but changes in your brain can take sudden and unexpected changes. You must sit down with him, and help him understand the severity, he needs to tell the doctors in full the issues. He absolutely needs a CT scan, to ensure there isn’t a tumor or anything.

maybe he needs to get off the medication. That happened to me when I was on medication. I’ve been medication free for 4 months and it stopped.

For one… Don’t turn your back on him. Two… Always sleep with one eye open. And three… Call the mans doctor. If he wont tell him what is really going on then someone has to before someone gets hurt. Because with that behavior that is how it ends up.

Unless he gets serious treatment you could eventually be in danger. He is suffering a serious mental disorder. Talk to his Dr. as soon as you can. He could be schizophrenic. I know I am not a Dr. but this is something you should worry about.

He’s a schizo be careful… The voices can drive him so crazy that it will potentially bring harm to you.

He’s schizophrenic needs professional help

Tell him to get a doctor that deals with nonverbal communication they can test him. Sometimes it comes with mind reading so to speak.
Think of a number or word and ask him what he thinks your thinking. Do three sets of 20 if he’s right 80% of the time that might be it

My father is Schizophrenic. That’s why he chose to not be a part of my life when I was 2. When my mom got pregnant he was accusing her of all sorts of things and would get so angry that he would hurt her. So bad he almost killed her. Multiple times. Then when I was only an infant, one of those times my mom got weak and almost let him get the best of her, until she heard my cry in the next room. She fought back and eventually they split. At one point he took his aggressions from the schizophrenia related anxiety that he even abused me at 1 yr old. He forced my mom to avoid playing with me and connecting with me as a baby.

Basically what I’m saying is, I’ve experienced it first hand. Though I was so young I can’t exactly remember, eventually he got help, and left my life to give me better chance without him. It took me years of my life to realize that. My mom made him out to be some bad guy, but it’s not his fault.

Her mistake was making him feel like a bad guy and blaming him.

It’s a condition of the brain that can literally be seen by scanning the brain and monitoring brain activity. As PTSD is a form of brain damage, so is schizophrenia. Medicine can treat it if he is open and honest with himself and his doctors.

I cannot stress this next part enough. HE MUST NOT BE MADE TO FEEL LIKE IT IS HIS FAULT. PLEASE HELP HIM UNDERSTAND THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ASHAMED. That shame can lead to more anxiety, which leads to more danger for him and everyone involved. Just BE SUPPORTIVE. Let him know that he is and will be ok. Encourage him to accept it so that he can get the help he needs.

Like recovering from addiction, it all starts with himself, admitting to himself that this does not define him and he can overcome it.

To this day, my dad ostracizes himself from EVERYONE, even his own mother. Even when his Father passed. No one can find him. That is what he chose to do. Even with medications. I haven’t seen him in 26 years.

But the first step he took, was realizing he HAD to get help. Only he can help himself.

Sounds like schizophrenia my dad had it. I believe with treatment it helps.

This sounds like psychosis to me , has he had any traumatic event happen before the voices started ? Psychosis can also bring on paranoia which is why he is probably convinced you have something to do with it . Psychiatrist would be the first point of call , or call them mental health crisis team . If left untreated it will get worse , he could benefit from cbt or cbt to help train his brain to think differently and help him to manage these voices , best of luck x

When I am met with a person experiencing a crisis, depending on the degree of how they are perceiving reality ie. my safety potentially threatened due to being perceived as such, then I affirm them in the reality that of which they are living their human experience and empower them through prompting of open-ended questions: “I hear you and can understand this to be the situation. What do you wish to do right now? Okay great, I can do that too. How shall it be done? Great, I too can do just that. I’m ready to start when you are.”

This approach can typically help to ground the person in regaining control of how they are living their experience while I, being apart of their environment, can be positioned to aid in its facilitation. Has a many times diffused any aggression had in interactions and that of potentially violent hospital visits.

Definitely get him to a shrink or a behavioral science clinic would be best. Be VERY careful with his behavior. If he thinks YOU are part of something you are putting yourself in danger with or without help. Hearing voices is schizophrenic behavior, this voices will eventually tell him what to do to you…there is no “cure” but there are meds and EST that can help in the treatment. If he had Paranoid Schizophrenia which it sounds like he needs help NOW. Don’t quit looking until you find someone that has knowledge in that field. Don’t just fluff this off. I spent my entire life with my mom like that until the day she died 22 years ago. It WILL get worse and he’ll get sneaky and hide things from you and then blame it on you hiding things from him. Make sure there are NO weapons in your home, and if you have children distance them with a relative for awhile.

Schizophrenia. I know this all to well. The psychiatrist and other professionals would do the same to the person I know with this mental illness. It took a long while before he was finally diagnosed. The last thing they want to do is diagnosed someone with schizophrenia as it’s a serious mental illness. I will tell you right now that what you described as his current symptoms is nothing if it is in fact schizophrenia. This would be just the beginning. It can get really really bad. some of the things I’ve heard or gone through with said person I can’t even believe it sometimes like you will feel like you’re losing your mind because the things said or believed due to the voices in their head is absolutely outrageous and unreal but the scary part is they believe it.he is only hurting himself by not being honest with the doctors. He will suffer and so will everyone around him. I don’t know the name but I vouch for this shot they give to help manage symptoms. It’s amazing how much it helps

As someone who definitely has suffered from mental illness as well a lot of people really close to me the only way for him to get real help is if he pushes and is so very honest. He may need to be hospitalized until they can get find the right medication for him. Since he doesn’t have a long history of the voices it’s isn’t uncommon for people with mental illness such a a delusion bipolar or schizophrenia to suddenly start having symptoms after something traumatic or later in puberty. If it’s something trauma based (maybe a family member or pet dying or maybe something at work stressing him out etc) you can usually treat the symptoms with medication until you’ve dealt with the trauma and it will get better. If it’s simply mental illness due to chemicals in the brain then most people will need to be on meds for a long time or for life. Considering the fact that he thinks you’re doing something or you know something with the voices it sounds like paranoid schizophrenia. It is treatable although it can be hard to diagnose and hard to treat because most won’t seek help or when they do lie about the severity of the symptoms. He needs to get to a good psychiatrist and quickly as that particular mental illness can turn very dark and dangerous quickly and the longer he goes without medication the less likely it is that he will get treated properly. Get his family involved and advocate together for him with his drs. You tell his drs what you’re seeing from him. I hope this helps. I’m so very sorry. I know how frustrating and scary something like this can be.

He needs to see a psychiatrist that specializes in psychiatric illnesses. He is surely schizophrenic. It can be treated and be well controlled, all things considered, with appropriate medications and oversight.
If he’s becoming paranoid and is making accusations of conspiracy against you - there is no time left for him to decide if he’s willing to see someone. You need to contact an emergency psych department for your own safety. He would never hurt you in his right mind, but he is not IN his right mind. You need to protect yourself from what could easily develop into a dangerous situation.

You better hope none of these voices start telling him to kill you. :flushed: But for real, why are you wasting your time chit chatting on here about something so hugely important and urgent?!? Time for you to talk to either one of his existing doctors or a new one, and fill them in! They can’t help him or properly medicate him if they don’t know the truth about how badly it’s progressing. You can’t help him, except to make sure he’s being properly cared for. And it will continue to progress and get worse. You could potentially be in a very dangerous situation if these voices start telling him that you are the problem or the enemy.

Someone I know was just diagnosed with schizophrenia last year. He was bad enough that he was put on a hold to try different medications. Since he served in the armed forces, he went to their hospital and recieved the rest of his treatment there and got released. They wanted to keep him much longer before arriving to that one. If it’s that intense that he’s out of touch with reality, you have to be the one to call it out for him if he won’t… The person I know was supposed to apply for disability but listed he didn’t need help with anything (100% a lie since he had to move back in with parents to constantly be monitored and reminded for medications). It escalates FAST. The person I know had called 911 on his own when he recognized how bad he was feeling and posed a true threat to others. They took him immediately. Don’t let your husband get to that point of becoming a real danger to others.

So I have to add, as a therapist of 30 years, that people with psychotic illness do NOT have a higher rate of violence than others. They are 10x more likely to be the victims of crime themselves actually That being said, he does need a psychiatrist. Very tough brain illness to deal with.

You need to either call his doctor and/or see if you can record some of those conversations. Treatment will help, but only if the doctors really know what’s going on. Even of you have to go to ER and demand a psychological examination, with a possible stay in the stress unit.

You are going to want to get a handle on it before he hurts himself, you, or others.

I went with him to his apts after that, an he’s getting the help he needed. We are here, to better each other. That’s the whole point. Go with that man to the dr, speak up, tell them exactly what is going on, be a part of his journey and help get him better. Right now, he can’t do it for himself. Even if he gets upset at you for it, do it. You love him, help him.
