It was doubtful that Perseus Jackson would be qualified enough to be released into his own hands as an eighteen-year-old. Chiron was optimistic, but more like a parent – not a medical professional. Perseus has no family willing to take him in when he turns of legal age, and no money or job to stabilize him as he continues any form of education.

I was under the impression that Perseus was constantly taking his medication. I could tell immediately that he wasn't when he walked into the room. During my previous interview I heard talking outside of my doorway, only to see that it was Perseus, alone, waiting. He seemed disturbed, and even when introduced to me didn't try to hide his emotions.

Perseus' character was brash, then rude, then timid – signs that he still needs time to reign in his attitude and disguise his emotions. Perseus' social ques were mediocre at best. He glanced behind me a few times, but studied the table as I talked for the most part. He was not able to keep eye contact, and when speaking his tone would change frequently. He constantly asked me to repeat questions, and seemingly murmured when I was speaking to him.

Perseus is not able to hold conversations with strangers, or people of a higher power. He seems to have no filter from his brain towards his mouth. A formal tone does not seem to be known to him. Perpetually throughout the conversation he swore at me.

Once, as I was speaking, I caught him mentioning something about people staring at him. When I asked him who, he replied, "doctors, in lab coats. They want to kill me." When asked if he saw this constantly he replied, "Only in Chiron's office." His hallucinations and paranoia cause it to be unfit for him to be in public environments without medication.

When asked what he wanted to do with his life he started off with a well thought out paragraph only to halfway through change the subject, or comment or something I was doing (tapping my pen). His speech was disorganized. He constantly lost his train of thought and started again. He trailed off in the middle of sentences and started talking about different subjects.

When asked about his father Perseus replied with things I will not repeat. He insisted that he could take care of himself by himself if we provided him an off residence apartment for a year to get back on his feet.

When asked about taking medication, Perseus willingly told me that though he was served dosages with meals, he didn't take them and wasn't forced to.

When asked about recurring hallucinations or nightmares Perseus willingly told me that there was only one to speak of, and that it was reappearing less frequently, which I was glad to hear.

When leaving my office Perseus seemed anxiety ridden, and one could see his was visible shaken. When we shook hands, his palms were covered with perspiration.

Perseus is a lot more apathetic than most schizophrenic patients, but he needs to develop better conversation and social skills as well as control learn to control himself. After an hour of ongoing conversation with him it is my medical opinion that he should be transferred to a more serious adult residential institute and forced to take medication when he turns eighteen years of age.
