Hi again,

I’m just guessing, but I would say that if he is off his meds, he may be thinking that its not him but you, me, and the rest of the world that has changed. Its like someone with a slight fever. Its not them, its the room that’s too hot – or too cold. He may see himself “still the same.” He is using himself as his “frame of reference” for normal behaviour, just as the person with a fever is using themself as a reference as to what is too hot or too cold..

He should probably get back on his meds before he screws up everything really badly.

You might try to find out why he is reluctant to take his meds and reason with him, but I would guess that you will have to enlist help from other friends to convince him of his change in behavior. One data point isn’t going to do it for him.

Presently, he may be thinking that you are the one that has changed and be perplexed as to why.

Does this at all sound valid or make any sense?
