[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 610576, member: 3305"] Hi there, In my humble opinion, we are often dealing with an underlying mental illness especially when suicide was attempted. But even so, the psychological/emotional even spiritual (if you will) parts need to be addressed as well as medication if the person is also using drugs/alcohol. I am curious as to what mood stabilizer they have your son on? There are many and finding the right one at the right dosage etc is important. I think your son's issues are being dealt with as needed. He needs an education in the Big Book in my opinion, in AA, therapy, etc. He needs to learn things there that he would not learn if only in psychiatric hospital. I will never regret sending our son's to rehab and then AA for that reason. Regardless of mental illness, they need additional tools to him them cope with life in my opinion. And at the very least...they know where to go in the future when they struggle. I wish your son would open up more. He surely see's an individual councelor there. What are they telling you that they think? Have you been able to speak with the Rehab psychiatric Dr.? Thinking of you, hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
