Adult Son- psychotic episode

SSR

Hi All, my adult son (26) has been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and is on the Autism Spectrum and has been seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist for the last 12 months and is currently on his 4th type of anti-depressant together with anti-psychotic medication and nothing seems to be working. Also, his girlfriend left him yesterday (she's great and has tried very hard to help him). He had a terrible episode yesterday and we had to call an ambulance. He waited in A&E for 4 hours and the doctor eventually said she thinks is also has OCD, that the medication he is now on seems fine and sent him home. He stayed with us last night but has now gone home to an empty house and thinks his girlfriend is coming home in a couple of days - which she is not. We are all at our wits-end and don't know where to go from here. Please help if you can.
