      How old is he? There was some study several years ago from Norway I believe that states many people have schizophrenia like symptoms between 18-26. It’s like a third of the population. This was a really long time ago. I’m sorry if I’m spreading bad information.

          I can’t. It’s been way too long. But iirc the article postulates that many people have an identity crisis and question their reality. Which in essence is schizophrenic-like behaviors. I wish I had more information. I was hoping someone would see this and chime in and confirm what I remember. It was many years ago and I remember having similar thoughts due to a massive amount of hallucinogens in my system.
