Nothing is definite.... Only time will tell as far as his continuing to hear voices.
Now, concerning sleep away camp. Is he able to function in social settings? If his condition still allows him to carry on, pretty much, normally with his life's affairs, I would say yes...go to camp. Also, get the opinion of the Doctor and, most importantly, ask your son.
Best Wishes.

I don't know where you live, but you can contact NAMI. They can point you in the right direction to get some help.
I understand how your feeling. I live life one day at a time. My goal is just to get through today. Try to get yourself into that mind set.
Alot of Doctors are worthless, but there are some good ones. NAMI can help you find resources that CAN help.
Keep posting on this website and others will respond. In the mean time I'm listening.View Thread

The bottom line is I'm not a Doctor. If you want to read up on it, you can look at the Merck Manual (it's also known, amoung clinicians, as the DSM).View Thread

It took about 1/2 a year for my Doctor to find the right combo for me.
