Early in the stages of treatment after his 1st major episode. He would pace back and forth somtimes for hours starting about 4 pm. Later as his condition improved and the medications took more effect he would shoot hoops (basketball) usually about 2 hours but on a bad(stressful) day up to 4 hours. Later still, as his improvement continued he became less and less active physically and more mentally active watching tv playing video games and repeating phrases out load and ocassionally walking around inside and outside. Now we have to encourage him to walk with us evenings to help keep his weight down.
Still mentally he continues to improve, largely due to the medications.
