Getting the proper treatment for paranoid schizophrenia is vital to help overcome the bizarre thoughts and hallucinations. Even if one is reluctant, one should try to work up confidence and courage to see a doctor. These first steps can help one lead a decent quality of life. Family members should not be judgmental and encourage the individual to seek professional help. If any member of your family with schizophrenia poses a danger to himself or others, one may need to call emergency services and ask for help. In some cases, emergency hospitalization is required to treat the acute symptoms.
Paranoid schizophrenics do develop suicidal thoughts and anyone with recurrent thoughts or intent of suicide, should immediacy talk to someone. The best advice is to go to a local hospital emergency room or call 911 and ask for help. Families with members affected with mental illness like schizophrenia are also given a hotline number to call in case of an emergency. There are many support groups that you can join and for more information, speak to your doctor. Hope that helps
