I feel heartbroken...

Today my son who has schizophrenia was admitted to a psych hospital.  He was suffering a major psychotic relapse.  He was hallucinating, hearing voices and was very aggressive in his behavior.  Four months ago he quit taking most of is meds.  Because he was doing so well I didn't check to see if he was actually downing them.  Today I found 32 bottles of pills that were never taken.  He was so close to getting his own apartment and getting a good job.  And now this...  He reaps the consequences of not taking his meds and I wonder how long it will take before I get my son back.
