He does best when he has something to focus his attention on. He loves to play interactive video game "counter Strike" and has done some organizational work with it as well as designing his own screens for it. He has a definite desire to attend college and wants to major in science.
It took about 6 months on medications to get him 95% stabilized after his first episode. Those 6 months were very difficult. At first there was no emotion at all then later, even scarier laughing and sad, angry whatever at the wrong times. He seems to be able cope now. He has one good friend and he gets a horseback riding lesson every week (that really helps, but is expensive). He loves horses.
Today is another Pdoc visit, let's see what happens.
