| #1 So he began showing symptoms last Feb., at age 21. IIUC, isn't this consistent with a pretty typical onset and development of schizophrenia? Throughout, his parents were involved and aware. Law enforcement didn't have grounds to refer him to mental health - but why didn't his parents do so? He lived with them, and they had many months to observe the changes. Did they hope the problem would just go away? Or didn't realize how serious it was? I feel bad for them, but there were red flags all over the place. |
