Paranoid Schizophrenia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Next time don't. You can't cure people from mental illness with rationality. Unless you're a psychotherapist just stick to "aha", "really?" and "wow!".
I know its very difficult talking rationality to former drug abusers or mentally ill. Just look at when I try to write to Mekong Mouse. He is both a former(so he says) a drug abuser and mentally ill.

Its sad....my heart goes out to him. :please:

Without mentioning names, there is a more or less known expat suffering from schizophrenia. You can tell that he's off the meds when he begins carrying around more and more stuff. Last time he had an incident he was walking around in the heat half-wearing a jacket over his head and nonsense scribbles in his hand.

The embassy knows him quite well by now after they've had him strapped to a bed for as long as it took to get him back to his senses. It didn't turn out very well for his social life as he, as part of his paranoia, turned on the very same friends that helped him when he needed it.

Stay away is my advice. If people can't figure out for themselves after being rehabed the first time that it's time to return back home safely then there's no point in helping any further.

Yeah, but you also think the ganja being rolled in Alice is crystal methamphetamine so I don't know how much credibility you hold when identifying substance abusers ;-)

Feel free to say hi to me next time!

Correct, ganja (cannabis), is not ice (crystal methamphetamine). If you see anybody rolling something in paper (ironically most probably yours truly) then you know for sure that it is not ice for the simple reason that ice is not smoked rolled in paper.

Any further questions?

Don't be so stuck up and hostile. Just say hi next time. You might learn a thing or two.

A few years ago I saw a western embassy go over themselves and help send a badly addicted young bloke (same type as the one mentioned by OP) to a PP specialized private clinic called Kamikaser (financed and in accord with the mother).
Once located, local police helped with apprehending him and with providing a couple of nights in a cell before accompanying him to the clinic (they were fed up with him and kept asking the local embassy warden to do something about him). After a week or two the mother sent a well built acquaintance to fly him back home.


OP example brings me a drug related question so I'll put it under spoiler as it seems that for some members discretion is advised on the subject.
Spoiler:
after years in Cambodia and not being a drugs expert I thought ice and yaba was an Asian drug only and only consumed by smoking. As far as I know all Cambodians use it this way.
Then thanks to Breaking bad serie I understood that it is very big in the states and saw it being consumed by snorting.
Would this mean of consumption be more dangerous apart from the red nose symptom described by OP ?
