Is There Anything That Could be Done for my Stepson with Schizophrenia and BPD? Question: My stepson, 21, has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.  Problems started from 14 and a half years of age. We have asked for psychological, forensic, adult ADHD assessments to be carried out but are still waiting.  He is impossible to live with as he becomes very abusive and aggressive, especially when the word “no” is mentioned.  He has been in the care of the social services who now cannot find anywhere for him as he has ruined every placement.  He appears to self destruct.  The only person missing out is himself.  The best way to describe him is that he keeps cutting off the hand that feeds him.  He is now getting in trouble with the police as he has nowhere to stay.  I feel I can’t help as he is breaking up the family, but I still believe he has not had the correct diagnosis.  I could go on, but this gives a flavour. Advice? Dr. Heller’s Answer: It sounds like a heartbreaking situation.  The major treatment for schizophrenia is an atypical antipsychotic medication such as Zyprexa, Risperdal, Abilify and others.  If the BPD is present with schizophrenia the combination of Prozac (fluoxetine), Tegretol (carbamazepine) and Zyprexa (olanzapine) usually gets them significantly better — if they’ll take the medication.  Since Zyprexa causes such significant weight gain I will usually switch to an alternate antipsychotic once the individual is stabilized.  All three of these medications have scientific studies to back them up in the BPD, plus Tegretol and Zyprexa have been shown to help with bipolar if that is present.
