my son is currently in the midst of a dark psychotic bipolar episode that has been going on for about two months. he is delusional. He agreed to hospitalization yesterday, so i hope his healing can begin. But in the meantime, he has admitted to doing things that are just not tru. examples: he believes he spent 6 months in jail for arson. not tru. he believes his last stay in jail was for 2 months. it was more like 2 days. he believes there were guns and knives in the car he "stole". also not tru. he alleges that he cut off an inmates arm while he was in jail. didn't happen. my question - - - will he ever recall the stories he has told or is this one of the many perplexing components of the illness???
