Hugs to you HauntsForHope!!! It sounds like he was fortunate to have you, family and friends.
Mine stopped and refused to take meds over a year ago. He decompenated and he barely recognizes me anymore. He is in and out of reality within minutes. Turns on a dime. Paranoid of everything and delusional.
He's been incarcerated almost two years in jail. Thank God he has never hurt anyone. This is why this case hits close to home for me especially listening to the Drs.
He is safer there then on the streets. Because of him being off meds I'm afraid of him.
He was 4.0 GPA In HS sweet, loving, kind, handsome, athletic and popular. Non functional last 10 years. He is a severe case.
After getting MI in college he is a different person. I don't know who he is anymore and he looks awful. MI like a cancer in the brain.
