He takes meds but I found out from talking to the therapist the other day that he should take lithium for his serious symptom. I talked it over with him yesterday, and I heard him listening to a video about medication just now. I didnt want to interrupt him, but will ask him if he is thinking about talking to his doc about adding another med.
Meds typically are not enough. He should also have therapy to accompany the medication.
