I have a family member that is schizofrenia. He can yell and scream to himself. he thinks he is yelling at the voices in his head. he was hospitalized many times. my mother is still in denial. she is looking for a person that does natural healing. she hopes vitamins will help. what do I do?
I am a recent baal tshuvah. I dont understand why the FFB hesitate to go to therapy. in my family its a normal discussion. we have bi polar. there is no secrets. when my non religious sister was dating a guy it was no big deal for her to discuss it. shes on meds and shes stable. he didnt mind. why the secret? I dont get this business of shiduchim? we are believers in hashem. why worry?
New to the religion asking..
I go to parenting classes and do a lot to raise good kids, but when example in morning, or any other time when I’m constantly trying to race the clock, I don’t know how to cope with the arguments and all other things that come with raising kids, and I lose my patience and yell. What can I do?
if have shtrep take medication and goes away. how come with mental illness can be on med for life – shouldn’t it cure you?
#1-Let him take his meds. Give him his life. VITAMINS are good for healthy people. THEY DONT HEAL. I was there as the victim. The vits. costed me money I didn’t have. He’s suffering. Help him out of this. Don’t drown him while you try Hiding this from others(I know its the stigma of having a family member on meds thats not letting you take them.)
Wishing him a refuah shelaima and you an easy journey.
which physchiotrist do you work closely with or recommend i have ocd or can i go to my regular local doctor?
I have a 4 year old daughter who is forever busy with doing everything by herself. literally everything & from before she was 2. as parents we allow it and believe it builds her confidence. however she is always busy on doing whatever her friend is doing even if for example her friend is going to bed early she’ll say i want to go to bed too. what can we do to teach our children from a young age how to deal with peer pressure.
please give tips to help 9 yr. old daughter to not be a sore loser. she cries when loses a board game and screams and cries and throws or bites the remote when she gets out in Nintendo. Also when drawing (she is very artistic) she will crumple the paper and cry when she makes a mistake.
my daughter was asked to leave her seminary in eretz Yisroel now due to certain standards they had that they said she didnt keep their standards. Now she is at the crossroads of not knowing if she wants to try another seminary or come home which wouldnt be a good thing for her for her ruchnious. Do you have any suggestions for her. She has tried out other seminaries butisnt sure they are for her and each one has its own reasons.
thank you,

how do you recommend to your wife that she may be suffering from depression? That she should seek professional help? Where do you find that professional help?
the last few weeks I post on the Lakewood scoop and you somehow skip my question each time…. why
To the husband please call amazing organization called ima . It’s in directory they will help u and ur fam from beginning to end .
Plz get ur fam member help from schizophrenia he cld lead a functional and happy life and ur whole fam will b happy. Just like u wear glasses If u can’t see it’s the same with mental health.medication can make him into a functioning human. It’s worse of a stigma to have someone acting crazy then if he’s on meds and functioning.
