Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your son. If he is showing signs of schizophrenia, then along with a neurological assessment, he will need a psychiatric evaluation too. There are no blood tests or brain scans to diagnose schizophrenia. The diagnosis depends mainly on symptoms and detailed history. Some psychological tests are performed to evaluate the patient's touch with reality.
Take care!
