Violent schizophrenic episodes most certainly can involve premeditation and actually often do, Afc's story offered some insight into the scary world they live in. Most people assume that schizophrenic episodes are where someone just freaks out all of a sudden and commits violence towards whoever's near them (this can also happen). The episodes actually often start way before with voices telling them to do something or explaining that certain people are against them and need to be killed, then in a psychotic state they carry out acts beyond their control.
It's absolutely mind blowing what some of these people go through, it's nothing the average person could even begin to comprehend, yet we'll always attempt to break it down.

The scary part for me is not the kid, it's the system that's supposed to take care of him, a couple of days after the hospital released him into my care after telling me he was stablized I called them to say he was still hearing voices and evil spirits were still following him, they asked me if the voices were directing him to do anything, I replied not that he'd described it.
'oh that's ok then, call us if that changes'
My fear right now is I am doing just a good enough job of keeping the kid calm that they can ignore his needs and in the long run I am screwing the kid over.
