Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since you mentioned that your father having schizophrenia .
Since you are an intelligent mother and didn't having schizophrenia, this is a very good sign for your son.
Although he is having loose temper and ADHD, behavior problem.
These problems can be sorted out by a psychologist and psychiatrist .
As due to genetic history your son is prone to disease ( schizophrenia)but you yourself is a barrier between genes ( of schizophrenia) ,so try to handle this problem as a doctor.
Good luck for your son.
