A man with schizophrenia
Schizophrenia

My brother is both bi-polar and schizophrenic. He is on meds now. We did not know for years that he had schizophrenia. My sister took him in. One day he grabbed one of her knives and announced that he could easily slit her throat. It is so unlike him. He is normally a gentle soul. I remember when my oldest sister got married, this brother was at the wedding with the rest of us but he looked all alone.
It is extremely important for schizophrenics get treatment immediately if they say something violent. Then they need to stay on their meds. Luckily my sister did not get stabbed. She kicked my brother out. Maybe she should have also called a mental health hotline. We were all very young then. I embellished this with the death of my sister. That part is fictitious. The first person in this poem is from the viewpoint of the sister he threatened with a knife.
Here is some information for people who are schizophrenic and those who love them.
