something i forgot to add..
from your further description of his psychoticx symptoms, they sound much too severe to be classified as Schizotypal disorder. Schizotypal is characterized by mild ideas of paranoia, but is not delusional
preoccupation with magic,fantasies, telepathy, the sixth sense, etc.
Mild perceptual experiences, like bodily illusions (but not full blown hallucinations like hearing voices, seeing things,etc.
Social withdrawl
It sound to me like he has schizoaffective disorder:bipolar type. But of coarse im not a doctor, so i dont mean to try and sound as if i am diagnosing him
