I really doubt that.
Do you believe a schizophrenic should snap out of it and learn to interpret their distorted perceptions properly?
You have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm not sure what your point is, a schizophrenic might not be capable of controlling how sensibly they react to things, but it also wouldn't instantly cause them to eat themselves to death.
Not reacting "normally" to situations because of a mental illness of one kind or another does NOT mean they are instantly incapable of making any decision about anything, and they don't all instantly make the wrong decision about everything. Thats shockingly why not everyone with a mental disorder, kills themselves instantly, or eats themselves to death, or decides they can walk off a cliff without dying.
Theres also nothing to suggest theres anything wrong with her, depression can make you eat, so what, depression doesn't make you incapable of getting help, and she had saught help.
She acknowledged she was overweight, ate to much and had to lose weight, she accepted this, logically, and it was her choice to continue eating.
Her family are pathetic imbiciles, who really maybe should face charges. The hospital, meh, they SHOULD have gotten her, locked her in a room, strapped her to a bed, fed her by a drip bag, and refused to allow entry to the family, well, without a stripsearch anyway. If they did any of that, the family would probably have sued the NHS, and probably have won, because this country is becoming a joke.
The NHS really isn't allowed to just make choices for people, nor are they allowed to accost a family, confiscate food from them, or prevent the woman eating, she and her family have free will and nothing they did was illegal, there was nothing legal the doctors could have done to prevent them doing what they did.
Fact is, however bad she was, if she was at home, if there was food in the house she could have gone and got it herself and no one could have done anything, but in hospital, in bed, without the family bringing her extra food, she would not likely have had any extra food so the family should be held accountable in some way, even if it seems harsh because of their loss, so the hell what.
