Today, he's actually in the hospital right now. Suicidal ideation, which is not that common in the 18-year history that he's had with his schizophrenia, which is his diagnosis. His sister, Karen, who is actually a doctor in Michigan as well, has said that, Mom, I've noticed every year around the holidays, which is a pretty common thing, this does happen. But in general, he's...

I think he's considered to be a difficult case or a serious case of schizophrenia. Over the years, I've seen little adjectives hooked on in front of it by various doctors during various hospitalizations, sometimes paranoid schizophrenia, sometimes undifferentiated, things like that.

Well, schizophrenia, I think, as an illness, and as far as the public perception of it as an illness, has been damaged by SAMHSA and other federal health agencies by conflating it with this whole recovery paradigm goal that they have, which is nice for people. People who have minor depression or, you know, are going through menopause, perhaps, or who have minor drug addictions.

Not that they're minor, but you know what I mean. They're not about to pass away from overdose every night. But, you know, these things have been combined in these agencies. That is to say, alcoholism and drug addiction, a lot of mental illness, but the problem with schizophrenia, and I suppose some other serious mental illnesses, is... that they are not really curable.

That's when he first became psychotic. And this is an interesting point because he wasn't diagnosed right away. I can go on in that point.

Well, he and his sister were one year apart in their high school at the time, and both of them took the SAT test together. He actually did better than his sister, who, as I say, then went on to get not only her MD degree, but several additional degrees, fellowships, minor degrees in that field.

But he dropped out of high school, I think, late in his junior year, shortly after the SAT tests were taken. Yeah. And so I'm saying that to point out that he is natively intelligent, but he just withdrew socially, which is one of the warning signs. Also, he would run away.
