Meaning no disrespect, but I have to disagree. Having spent years living 
with someone who had frequent psychotic episodes and turn into a very 
strange, scary, paranoid, but then would return to a completely normal 
housewiufe and mother of two the next day. I can tell you with assurance, 
that the problem isn't due to psychological trauma, guilt or any other life 
experience. It may be precipitated by an event. Episodes may be triggered. 
But the root of the problem is biochemical
I am told that the need for meds can sometimes lessen and even go away but 
seen that when someone tries to ween themselves off the meds, bad things can 
happen. (No matter what Tom Cruise says.)  I've had knives thrown at me. My 
step-daughter's bed room was destroyed.
But I'm sure Sam is aware of what can happen. And he is not stopping his 
meds by choice. Trying to treat such a problem with things like diet and 
meditation, relaxation techniques and the like may be helpful, but relying 
on them alone is a bad choice and even dangerous.
