[QUOTE="Bean, post: 409477, member: 8620"] Another thing to remember about these kids (and I try to remind myself) is that the brain is not completely done forming until age 25. I remember reading about teenagers and some of the exhibited behaviors due to a still-forming brain. Add on top of that drugs that block out or intensify emotions, and you've got a problem. That was one thing -- and still remains an issue -- that always stood in the way of my daughter getting a proper diagnosis. She was continually saturated with THC. It was near to impossible to know for sure what they were dealing with. I ran into this time and time again. My daughter is a daily weed smoker now (she admits this), and it doesn't even feel like her anymore when we converse. I realize it is her with the shell of drug-induced apathy that I've grown accustomed to, but it surely isn't the same, soft and caring person she is when she was locked up for 4 months. I really miss that person. It's hard for her to even know who she is. [/QUOTE]
