    Hi Lizzie you probably know him better than anyone so do you think he will be ok, does he become anxious in confined spaces and have you taken him to see his GP to see if they consider it to be ok.

    I'm sure if he is taking his meds and in a stable time he will be fine and enjoy it as much as any one.

    Make sure he has taken his pills and take his prescription to prove he has the meds legally.

    Good luck and have a great time.

    P.s simple answer YES.

    Is he taking his meds? Is he aware he has a problem and needs to take his medication or are you the one that helps him take his meds? If he’s taking his meds himself and is well aware of his condition, then obviously yes. He’s suffering from schizophrenia, he’s not disabled. Schizophrenics can travel and live their lives too. 

    As others have already said, you know him better than anyone. I wish him all the best!
