your friend may have pyschotic FEATURES, such as hearing voices that arent there, beleiving bizarre/radical ideas which dont make sense... but if he can hold a conversation with you or anyone, a conversation that is coherent and makes sense; hes not schizophrentic.
if he does have psychotic features then i would avoid anyof the more powerful compounds, such as those which are known for causing "roid rage"
