To: Little Bill
The problem that she faces is that she is a charity patient, she was seperated from her husband who defaulted on her insurance payments. I have been purchasing her drugs, but the stuff they are recommending is out of my league. I'm not in MA, but in TX. When I worked in Community Mental Health with patients who were not able to pay for meds, the pharmaceutical companies usually had programs to make them available gratis to those patients.
The drugs for Schizophrenics were the most costly, and these programs were really beneficial for patients who had no resources.

As others have expressed, my prayers also are with you and your Daughter.
As you say, she is separated from her husband.
That she is married is helpful to you in that you are not responsible for her treatments.
In a case like this (at least in California) the State and Fed Government share in the cost of maintaining the needs of your Daughter.
I went through a similar thing with my sister, and with much diligence and red tape, she now lives a normal life.
There are drugs that if needed can stabilize most personality and emotional imbalances.
My best wishes and prayers go out to you, Buddy.
