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.

I mean, it's not like running away when you're 12, but when you're 17, 18, running away just means couch surfing at your friends and refusing to come home, refusing to respond to parental direction, that kind of thing. He was... at that time displaying some of the normal kinds of behaviors that schizophrenics will display, which is called psychosis because they're detached from reality.

That's kind of the million dollar question. And one of the reasons I thought this podcast could be helpful to people, because in our experience, and I think it's shared by a lot of Americans, when the male becomes schizophrenic at the age of 17, 18, roughly, and the female at 35, it's very sad for the males because...

At that stage in life, many boys are already rebelling or trying somewhat dangerous behavior. It's part of growing up as a male. So it's harder to designate it as an illness, I think. And they do tend to get involved with the law much more so than the females, who by the time they're 35... would have maybe gone to college, had a job, had children, even have a marriage.

So they've learned how to be an adult, but, you know, the males have not. So they tend to tangle with the police more. That's my understanding, what I've seen.

Well, that is the reason that your original question was million dollars, is that it's my contention that the legal community has failed this population of schizophrenics and perhaps other people with serious mal-illness so badly that in that they have gotten rid of the mental health institutions. They've also legally impeded the family's ability to commit family members.

They've also introduced HIPAA laws that kick in at the age of 18, which prevent the family from even knowing what's going on. if the child is hospitalized at that age. In my particular case, there was a prosecutor in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which is where we were all living at the time, upon consultation, told us that in order for Jonathan to get a diagnosis,

especially against his will, because many times these people have this anos, they don't know they're sick. There's a term for it. He recommended that we have him arrested, believe it or not, in order to get him in the system, his quote. You know, I'm quoting the prosecutor. And then he said they would be able to introduce Jonathan to the community mental health clinic.
