My partner has schizophrenia and stopped her medication a month ago. She is now in a severe active episode, completely distracted, and I can't communicate with her. While we've navigated episodes before, she was always medicated and calm. Now, she is completely refusing her medication and doctor visits, and is showing aggressive behavior for the very first time.

Her community nurse suggested an involuntary hospital admission, but I really want to avoid that. Does anyone have advice on how to handle this, or suggestions on what else I can try? We are living in Ireland
