I am the Mother of a son with left temperal lobe arachnoid cyst,
He is now 35 show and signs Ben showing sign since about the age 20 for 25 schizophrenia delusions hallucinations anger confusion and he's been in and out of jail in prison because of it nobody listens nobody cares and I can't get him to even go and see the doctors he needs to see neurologist He's been neglected but for years by the system being incarcerated all they do is put them in isolation for 23 hours a day which has made him completely a different person I watched him as a child grow up I took him to neurologist once every 3 months 6 months and then a year till he was 18 and yes all doctors seem to just dismiss any symptoms that you might try to discuss with them they don't think that this is have anything to do with any type of brain problems like pressure on the brain causing certain symptoms to happen and things like that nobody's ever listened has anybody gone through these kind of problems or know anybody with this type of problem with their cysts, I'm with him always read incarcerated because of these problems I can't get him the proper medical attention that he needs

Has your son been prescribed any medications to assist with his behavior problems?
@hopeful33250 Just recently I'm not sure of what the medication is called because he's back incarcerated again and they didn't MRI I got that much done from his attorney but we still haven't gotten any results back and even if we do and they come back saying oh it's not putting any pressure on the brain and all that stuff they did not raise him they do not listen to anything that I tell them and now he may go to prison for the rest of his life and he had an episode during this thing that happened and I I can't talk about it too much all I can tell you is it was like a light switch and then he didn't remember anything and now I may not be able to get him any help at all being the fact that he's in the system again cuz they never did anything the first and second and third time but isolated so it seems to help him for the most part whatever it is that he is on but he's never been diagnosed with anything and he's had severe depression I'm positive that he has signs of ADD that's how it originally started a symptoms but he's never been diagnosed with that anywhere and the neurologist never said he had any problems but I know he has just because they can't see it on the brain scan doesn't mean that it's not happening but thank you for commenting and I will check out that link
