He also gets very active by going to the YMCA /gyms in his location for sports activities and socializing, this gives him another outlet for focusing his pent up energy on something positive.

The voices were gone instantly after the suicide case(weird really). It's been a good few years but now sometimes they seep out, forgot to mention this part.
I was on meds before and it drove me insane. The storm(cooler name pending) was layered. How do I explain this it's like a bigger storm in a sense of a numbness that is medication which then clouds(very effectively) my vision of the storm which ironically wipes out my grasp on reality. It's like a constant *PING*. Needless to say I hated meds and was unfaithful to the schedule. I feel ungrateful for not taking what seems to be my only real help(meds that is) but it's only because I felt I was doing fine great really and I would hate living a dull minded life. So ungrateful of me..

I thought of this. I don't know how practical it would be though. Thank you for having me revisit the idea. It could be of help.
