My son was 15 last year when he had a similar episode. He was first diagnosed major depression etc. later w/ schizo etc.. He was first given Abilify & lexapro but after a month the side effects made him "cheat" on his meds and he ended up in a crisis center. He is now on 15mg Zyprexa and 15 mg Zoloft. He is back in high school now making straight A's where he was below average student before this happened. It was at least a 6 month recovery from these episodes but we kept him home and put up with his various moods and delusions etc. till they gradually disappeared.
Here's a tip don't be afraid to cut up pills and experiment with dosages till you get it right Good Luck and God Bless!
