No, you did not get it wrong. When my son was discharged, that was their great revelation after being treated with Clozaril in the hospital. I asked them if it was possible that he was not really hearing or seeing things, but having obsessive thoughts. On discharge, that is when they gave it some weight and considered it, but now he is at home. Seems to be doing fairly well. No more talking to people I don't see or responding to internal stimuli. No more shadow boxing. His performance in school declined greatly since Sept 2008. All of those reasons are what led to hospitalization. Punching in his bedroom window did not help either. Psychiatrist reduced the clozaril by 50 mg per day since discharge. Now he only takes 150 mg per day. We are still working on trying to find out the correct diagnosis and medicine. Thank you for you insight. I won't give up.
