My son descended into full-blown psychosis at age 17. He is now 27. I’m here to tell you there is hope!! He was so affected: religious delusions, paranoid, aggressive, confused. Through a great first-psychosis program, weekly therapy, multiple different trials of meds, regular sleep schedule and meds, lots of outdoor walks and finally on [medicine] and a long-acting injectable, he has not been hospitalized in three years, is a sweet, helpful son and fully participates in many special-needs sports teams. No, cognitively he will never be the same, but he is a wonderful son and I love him so much!!!!!
