I had to post a followup, after having spoken with his psychiatrist at length. My husband had been the main contact, so there was lots to discuss from my POV.

The most important thing is that schizophrenia is NOT the diagnosis, or near it either. That sons' current working diagnosis is Psychosis Secondary to Brain Injury and that he HAS made real progress, not just the type I've worried I'd imagined. I cannot even begin to express how relieved that made me.

Also that even the depression may be an OCD display -- he is picking things up subconsciously from partial outpatient treatment via group therapy. Dr suggested that after having seen it happen w sons behavior, and discussion w nurses, and then after discussing it w me, confirmed. Auditory hallucinations may still be around bc of OCD as well.
