Yesterday, things came to a head at the house. Over the last two weeks, schizo-boy has progressively gone through all of the stages of having a mental break:
1) Started being nervous and edgy.
2) Changed almost everything about his normal habits, waking up early, rattling on and on, actually saying what was on his mind, etc.
3) Started caring about his appearance/clothes.
4) His mom wakes up to find him just returning from a walk.
5) buying bottled water. (thinks that someone is poisoning the tap water.)
6) started washing - with soap, an entire can of soda before he opens it.
7) and then yesterday, his mom went and took a shower, when she got out, he had moved to the back yard and started a bonfire and had the chainsaw out, prepared to create more fuel.
So, my wife called schizo-boy's Psychiatrist and told him exactly what was going on. He immediately took him off of the meds and asked that he be called in two days.
Hopefully we'll be able to get him on the right meds for him before we go on holiday.
