    It depends on his diagnosis. If he's schizophrenic, medication is not a cure it's a control.

    I have family members that claim they have mental disorders like schizophrenia and split personalities and various others.

    The truth of the matter is Metal Disorders are created by people that cannot handle the real world. So development of a mental disorder occurs and it becomes their excuse. Not being able to take the blame for their own action.

    Meds given to these people a lot of the time are sedative’s other cases the meds really do nothing for the person. If anything its just a matter of putting the person at ease in believing they are being treated for their disorder.

    He should not stop the meds without first talking to the doctor.
