Thanks for your response, I'm really hoping that's what it is. I'm curious about why you think it might just be a brief episode and not schizophrenia?
I spoke with his siblings and in retrospect, we think he might have been in the prodrome phase and we just missed the signs for the past few months. We haven't been able to communicate with his psychiatrist because he's still abroad :\
