Oh, wow! That's so hard! I'm so sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, it does sound typical. I'm glad he's got support and with that, is able to stay on medication. For most people with schizophrenia, they absolutely can live normal lives WITH MEDICATION. The problem is simply keeping them on it. A lot of people who are homeless have mental health disorders, including schizophrenia and it's just such a challenge. He's lucky to have you all supporting him!
Unfortunately, not everyone does, either because they alienated the people and the people weren't educated enough about how to help and that medication can "fix" things if they can get them to stay on, or the people who should be their support system are not able to be supportive, either due to their own issues or just the type of people they are.
Thank you for sharing! You're even more awesome than I realized!
