He's still quite young (21) and his diagnosis is pretty new. He was hospitalized before we met and his healthcare team has been working with him since then to figure out a plan. He's against medications, and from what I've read it seems like medications make the biggest difference. Really, if he could just take a mood stabilizer he'd be okay. His psychosis isn't a problem for him as much as his moods are (but from my research it seems that mood stabilizers tend to make psychosis worse). I just wish he'd consider it, because his current "do nothing" approach isn't working and it's getting increasingly harder on me and our relationship.
