In 2010, Mother was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with a
methamphetamine dependency. Mother was prescribed anti-psychotic
injections, but was often non-compliant and was, at times, involuntarily
committed for mental health treatment. During one such commitment, in
September of 2019, Mother went into labor and was taken to a hospital to give
birth. She walked through the hallway inappropriately dressed and asked staff
if she could leave.
