I have a second cousin that's schizophrenic. He was a premie & had a bout of meningitis when he was a few months old too. His mother says she always knew that there was going to be something wrong with him. In his teens, around the time that he was going through puberty, she says he started to change. Paranoia, anxiety, hearing voices, illusions of grandeur, inseminating martians......you name it, he's said it. The thing is that when he takes his meds, he's as normal as they get. The moment he feels better, he stops taking the meds and then goes spiralling down again. It's not easy & I think it's good to mention or question his parents. I believe you can't do anything for him unless he wants to get treated. If he's not dangerous, they can't commit him (forcing him to get treated)
