This is incredibly traumatising but basically my DH had a psychotic episode about 8 years ago while I was away and threw himself out the window, he nearly died and was permanently disabled. Other than that he has severe depression/ anxiety (as do I ) but no psychosis.
Now, he has out the blue had another one and done the same thing, threw himself out the window, this time in front of me, this was about 4 metres. He has broken ribs and pelvis and is in major trauma ward in hospital.
I am wondering what kind of care he can get in the community to stop this ever happening again?
He says there is only one route he is allowed to follow which is through an addiction service (they are useless, he has not been an addict for 10 years plus but that's the only way he can get opioid pain medication for his nerve damage from last accident), I am desperately worried as you can imagine. I just don't even know what type of medication he could take when the episode starts, before it becomes life threatening.
Any help greatly appreciated. Just to add, I do wish to be with him through this as he is wonderful in so many ways, I've no intention of leaving him.
