### input:
Our son, Gregory Whitcomb  was diagnsed with schizophrenia affective  about  15 yeas ago or so.  he spent some yearsin Royal Colony, Oakland,CA after being admitted to the Alta Bates Hospital Mental Department.  We moved from    Florida  to Lincoln CA Sun City to try to be helpful.  He was on medication for many years while at Royal Colony, Oakland,CA.  He seemed to be  improving  a lot .  He wanted to live on his own , which seemed fine at that time.  After a short time, he went off the medication.  Then, there was a decline in his health,  He had more delusions,  began  writing on facebook unacceptable letters etc. Several times he went back to a mental hospital for a short time . He refused to take the medications .  Then he was allowed to leave the mental   hospital .  His behavior declined and he was on the street several times.    Most recently, he was in a mental hospital in Vallejo,CA .  The doctora gave him the meds which we wee grateful  for that.  He was released to ahome that took in a few boarders,  Once again, he went off the meds . His  writings on facebook were degrading to his brother in Ashland ,Oregon (Duane Whitcomb) as well as to others in other episodes. He has a restraining order from his churdh which he attended for some 12 years or so.Family  relattionships have deteriorated a great deal because of the problems here, He has spent thousands of dollars foolishly and continues to refuse medication or doctors help as he believes he is well.  We feel he needs to have medical help but we are told that he must admit himself to have the meds and therapy necessary..  Please let us know how to deal with this to have help for gregg as he will not listen to us.          Sincerely,  Marion and Ernest Whitcomb and Duane W. and Loretta Jacobs (brother and sister)  1186 Hawthorne Lane   Lincoln, CA 0000  phone 916-543-5399    ( YYYY@YYYY )  PS We, the parents , are in our mid eighties now and feel we cannot have him in our home or care for him because of our own  health  problems.  Marion Whitcomb
