[QUOTE="scaredofhim, post: 619253, member: 17051"] Hello everyone. :) I don't feel like anyone is trying to diagnose my SS but I do very much appreciate all the different information that I get from all of you because it does help when we talk to SS's dr. to be able to throw different ideas out there. It's so hard to sort everything out when it comes to mental illnesses, especially in children. We do try to talk to SS when he is calm, the problem is that he doesn't really listen. He won't even look us in the eye and just nods to answer questions most of the time or gives a one word answer. He will not elaborate on anything. As for psychosis, he has suffered from that. He was documented as being psychotic back in October when he was hospitalized. He threatened to kill himself and he threatened to kill his bio mom. He doesn't even remember a lot of what happened in the ER and the first couple of days of hospitalization. The dr. said he has bipolar disorder with psychotic features. Since he has been out of the hospital, he has threatened suicide, and he has repeatedly threatened to kill his bio mom. Once when he didn't get his way he gave her an evil look and said, "I know where the knives are!" I do agree about bio mom, she does need to handle this on her own, but husband always answers her calls. I don't though. When she calls me I ignore her.
