From moments of quiet conversation to sudden violent or near violent outbursts featuring screaming, tantrums, throwing objects and - if people are present - grabbing. That has been the cycle of the day. The outbursts are directed at a teaching aide (whom he no longer has) who told him (9 months ago) that all people die eventually. Her declaration of human mortality was and is too much for him to handle. He "hates her", he want to "hit her" and "flip her off". He has threatened to send her "an email telling her she's stupid". I tell him he already did all these things (although he did not) and he says, "I did?" I assure him that he did and he calms down some until the next time.
It seems that the lower dose of Prozac that remains in his bloodstream has allowed him to reflect openly on the root cause of his distress. That he has eaten from the Tree of Wisdom and was turned mortal.
