My DH's nurse asked me today, how did I do it? She said he head butts her and the other nurses. Hits them, kicks them. I didn't handle it.

He's been in the psych ward of the hospital for 7 weeks now. I'm scared for his future and mine. They say if they can't find somewhere to send him, they will send him home. No choice. Yes, they say he is medicated. We were going to try to get him placed in a nursing home.

His doctor needs to prescribe some serious medication for him to help keep these violent outbursts under control. Nursing home staff can only handle so much and they will not accept some patients and will discharge others from a facility if it's that bad.

It is all about getting him to the right inpatient hospital to get the right doctors to get him on the correct medication.

My husband and I went through this for a very long time with his brother. We had him moved to a town that we know have great phyciatric doctors, now he is not the same person.

He is doing Amazing. There is help.

This is so sad. For you. For them all caring for him. For him. They will likely insist that he is medicated. Do know that when you find him "snowed" and think to complain, that his life at present is a danger to others and a torment to him. Sometimes medication is the only answer. Given not everything can be fixed. I am so sorry and so glad that you are no longer attempting to do this care. The man you loved, who would never do this, is essentially disappearing. I am so sorry.

Oh, how distressing...I'm so sorry you are going through this. Was he given any medications in the hospital?

He doesn't have a male nurse or paramedic?
