Pyroluria strips the body of B6 and zinc and can cause schizophrenic symptoms (I learned about it take my son to the Pfeiffer Treatment Center in Illinois). There is a urine test you can take to check for this condition and how much extra B6 and zinc is needed - what happens is without extra copper levels raise in the brain causing the symptoms.
Lithium orotate, 5-HTP, I think these can help - I am currently trying to find support for my son's neurotransmitter imbalances to get him off the risperdone we had to start him on (commonly used for schizophrienia), but he was having extreme, violent meltdowns and we had to resort to medication to keep us and him safe, and our home from being destroyed. We use a supplement called Tranquinol by Premier Research Labs that seems to help him as much or even more so than the risperdone. Just sharing possibilities here from our experience.Good luck.
