[pedagogue]

There have been some good suggestions so far (family meeting, etc). It may take a bit to find a combination of meds that offers the stability needed to get back to a more steady daily life.

I think it is important to share your concerns and let him know that you are there to work with him, but he needs to pull his own weight....whether that is helping around the house with cleaning, making a meal, etc. A full/part-time job may be difficult until he stabilizes a bit, but playing video games 24/7 isn't realistic either. I think providing a safe place to talk about your concerns is important, as he probably has a lot of emotions about this. It may also be helpful to do things as a family, whether that is dinner as a fam, maybe a nightly walk (not sure the weather where you are), but *something* that doesn't allow the isolation of video games.

Best of luck.

ps. The sleep thing is really common. Part of it is meds, part of it tends to be avoidance. Maybe not 7:00am, but 11:00am probably isn't healthy either.
