The big question, which hasn't been asked in the story or in the comments, is whether or not the middle-aged son already identified as having Asperger syndrome really does have schizophrenia or psychosis. I'll bet he doesn't, but if he does, it is a fact that mind-deadening and dangerous drugs are pretty much all that medical psychiatry has to offer psychotic people.
A good doctor confronted with a genuinely psychotic patient would not write a prescription for a drug as a first response. A genuinely professional doctor would first do endless medical tests at great expense to search for any of the countless physical illnesses that have psychosis as a symptom, and would also look into any recreational drug use that could be an underlying cause, but when was the last time that you ever met a doctor who would do half of that? Doctors like that are flukes, aberrations. The doctors that I know can't even be trusted to take a proper look at the results of tests that they already ordered themselves, in the few seconds that they spend reviewing the patient's medical records before or during a consultation. Quacks.
