Would they give him Thorzine until God no longer came to visit?

Definitely schizo like Mohammed.
And a terrible leader. It took him forty years to get from Egypt to Palestine which I could walk by myself in two months easily.
Hearing voices is one of the major symptoms of schizophrenia

Well first off, Schizophrenia isn't the only mental disorder where you can hear voices or hallucinate. Extreme bipolar depression for example could cause the same symptoms, as well as quite a few drugs that were available even back then.
But your missing even a fourth and even a fifth possibility. The forth possibility is that there was no Moses, he was a character made up whole cloth by the Jews to give their culture meaning.
The fifth possibility is that there was a Moses, but everything that happened has been altered into unrecognizability from what the original Moses did and believed. Considering the general lack of outside sources of verification for Moses existence, I think four and five are plausible alternatives.

Let's see, the ruler of the most powerful nation of its day eventually cratered and released an entire nation of slaves based on his relationship with God.
From there, the theology of multiple religions were founded and civilization itself has its roots (including culture, philosophy and law). All because this single man was chosen by God to lead His people.
Consider Billy Graham and his unique relationship with Presidents of the second half of the 20th century. To say man's relationship with God today is different than it was 4 or 5 thousand years ago is not a stretch (sorry, I don't have the exact time lines down). The Old Testament asserts God himself walked among man during those days. Today, Moses would have to lean on a relationship with God that, according to my beliefs. is derived through the gift of the Holy Spirit when one accepts salvation through Jesus Christ.
So, if Moses was alive today, IMO he would not be locked up, he would simply be a Christian who follows God's will for his life just like he did thousands of years ago.

the answer to this question can not be answered as no one living can show any proof that moses ever talked to God
Yes if Moses was alive today he would have been certified and sent the L.R.M.C and He might not ever get out
He probably would be put on Seriquil

people would say he was crazy. i have dreams that God speaks to me in. i also have dreams that happen after i dream them and even though they happen 2 weeks after i dream them people call me crazy. i can only tell people what i dream and if an angel or God Himself tells me something all i can do is speak what is spoken. i can not make people believe. nor can i make these dreams happen. only God can make them happen. many try to say it is satan but if that were true why do they continue to come true when satan can not speak truth. and why would satan call for the world to find peace. i say it is God. but we all know opinions are our own thoughts. and of course since people do not want to stop sinning they do not want to believe these dreams can be from God. hence they say i am crazy. but seeing is believing even if they choose not to. another earthquake about a 7 is going to happen tonight or tomorrow.

God spoke to Moses.

I've been a Christian all my life, and I can honestly say this: hell if I know. It really does not matter. He claimed he did, freed the Hebrews, and essentially started the nation of Israel and the evolution of my religion was born. All that said, it was thousands of years ago, so we'll never really be able to answer this question.

Moses is a mythical figure, not unlike Perseus or Heracles. Outside of the Bible, there's no evidence that he ever existed.

Moses existed. Just the fables woven around him over the centuries are myths.

He'd be running for President on the Republican ticket.
