Mental health, particularly a psychosis like schizophrenia, is not like many chronic physical issues in that once you reach an optimal pharmacological threshold that it’s well managed for years with minimal symptoms.
There are peaks and troughs to the symptoms experienced by the individual and often prescribers will have to adjust dosages or add medications to their regimens.
My advice is this: If he’s a valuable resource and employee when his symptoms are well managed I’d suggest giving his prescriber and medication time to adjust. Neuro chemical changes in the brain can take months to produce positive impacts as neuro plasticity is a months-long process.
Give him time. Don’t fire him. Productivity is important yes humanity has a place in business too.
