[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 290401, member: 1550"] WSM, it's common to hallucinate on SSRI's like Lexapro, especially at night. I know first hand. It doesn't mean he's psychotic. To me he seems scarily logical and psychopathic. I could be wrong, but I think that's his big issue. I know husband thinks Lexapro will "fix" him, but if this happens again, I'd encourage him (I know, I know, you do) to talk to the psychiatrist about this medication possibly causing the kid to have hallucinations. I agree with you, from your description, that he seems driven by some sort of bad stuff inside of him, but he doesn't really seem like it's primarily a mental illness. People with both bipolar and schizophrenia both, when they come down from an episode, have great remorse for those they harm. They are as capable as warm love as people who are not mentally ill. That's the problem here. This kid acts like he is eerily sneaky and not concerned about anyone's well being but his own. And he doesn't seem to have a conscience. While overly mentally ill people can temporarily seem as if they don't have a conscience, they display one as soon as they are better. He is not acting like he is normally out of touch with reality. I am sorry husband won't even tell psychiatrist about his episode. Take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
