Just found this forum, after reading caregivers post hope to glean some direction and help for a very dear friend, so here's hoping!! Our friend had a brain tumor (astrocytoma)10 years ago and at the time, to treat the tumor was given radio and chemotherapy, whilst the prognosis was not great recovery was slow but effective, regular scans show the tumour remains dormant. After 5 years of slow progress our friends mental health began to deteriorate, began having auditory hallucinations and to date these hallucinations have reached the point of despair for all around. Our friend refuses to believe only they can hear the voices and refuses to adhere to any medication plan laid down by the Psychiatrist, so has been offered no further appointments. I know this is a very small snapshot of the situation, but a question someone may be able to answer is, "would hypnosis be an option to motivate our friend to take the medication"? regards, Rob
