[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 62589"] To answer your question, with the right medications and therapeutic interventions you can see great improvement. Another thing to keep in mind is that children of mother's with a mood disorder are statistically at an increased risk of having a developmental disorder - on the autism spectrum. I would recommend encouraging your boyfriend to have his son tested by a neuropsychologist as there is a lot of family history that needs to be taken into consideration. Also, was bio-mom abusing drugs or alcohol while she was pregnant? That could be a whole other can of worms there. While I'm not going to presume to tell you how to handle your relationship, I will caution against living with this family until you have more answers. You do have a young son to consider. Theses illnesses don't affect just the person experiencing it; they affect the entire family. [/QUOTE]
