Misdiagnosis?
The reason I have not updated this blog is due to my husband's surgery and long hospital stay; we have been gone for over a month. I have had an epiphany; my son may not be paranoid schizophrenic! How did I come to this conclusion? For this time period Mike has been off his meds and yet... he has been more capable and has lost most of his fears. He watches Television, listens to his music, went back into the bedroom to get his belongings (he would not go in there before) Mike has been very helpful, cleaning the house, washing laundry, mopping the floors, and taking care of the animals too! He still has his "issues" but they are minor in comparrison--really minor! So tell me, what do you think it is? I think it's PTSD! PTSD is commonly diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia!
