Childhood Sz: I'm glad he is responding well to the medication and hope that the behavior therapist might be able to help him deal with the management of the voices. It may not be possible to eliminate the, but he may be able to not be troubled by them. There are different types of schizophrenia and while such an early case is often more difficult, the success so far is a good sign. I hope it goes well for him.
