[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 521601, member: 14306"] The only thing I could say was I was neither able to study/work, nor able to do anything around the house until the age of 25. Proper diagnosis and proper treatment made the whole difference. The only thing I could do around the house was searching and trying to find the right treatment for myself, in order to live and not survive. What you said hurted me. So, if I understood well what you said, my mommy should have made me go away because "I didn't study/work nor doing anything around the house" ? Here, mental health is like Middle Ages. Having the diagnosis and treatment for ADHD as an adult is next to impossible where I live, let alone the right care. When I was a child, same story, even more difficult to get the proper diagnosis and treatment. We needed 5 years to get this diagnosis and treatment for me. In the meantime, antipsychotic were not having therapeutic effects and I had quite a bunch of side effects, some of them were awful. You have little services for people with mental health. But here where I live, it is even worse. So families are, more often than not, left out with their child in need for care. These persons, especially children, are not only rarely able to help themselves, but they also don't often obtain the help they really need. When they obtain help, it's a very partial help and even, not helpful at all. I cannot not mention it. In a few words, my ADHD was so debilitating that working/studying and helping around the house were not an option. I wish it were an option, but it was not actually. And I was not lacking will to get help, I just didn't receive the help I was needed. As simple as that. Of course, substance abuse were not in the middle (it was enough complicated like that without substance abuse, let alone if substance abuse were involved !!). It happened for me to be very unstable. Hurting mom sometimes, verbal garbage, anxiety ++++. I of course called psychiatrist when it happened (or going to GP), but it didn't mean that I still had the right medical care (they did what they could, but they didn't know if it were chicken or eggs). I still remember my ex boyfriend telling me that mom should make me go out because I wanted to profit from her. It still hurts now. I am expecting to be lashed out and considered "the nasty difficult child". Do whatever you want at this point. [/QUOTE]
