that's kind of like what that my cousin is going through though - I was sure they diagnosed it as schizophrenia. At one point, he was on the metro with me and telling me to tell all the women to stop looking at him - he knows the babies are his but it was their choice. I wanted to get off the metro so fast you have no idea - that's when I realized that there was no possibility it was drugs or alcohol (as others were thinking) this guy really, truly believed that he had inseminated these women.
Then let's not talk about the doors - there are about 15 locks to ever door and window of the house.
Quite frieghtening, but they can't do anything about it unless his mother (who he lives with) calls he cops and says that he got agressive. They can't force him to get psychiatric help otherwise.
He goes through bouts though - there are months where he doesn't take the meds & doesn't seem like he needs them either. I don't know - all I know is that his mom is suffering immensely!
