[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 386462, member: 2423"] Previous posters asked about heading off personality disorders. At age 16, my son was diagnosed with an emergent Avoidant Personality Disorder (which is in the DSM-IV). He was severely depressed, socially withdrawn, academically underachieving and therapy resistant. Because we were bumping up against the time when he could refuse treatment, we decided to send him to a wilderness program followed by a residential treatment center. Today he is no longer depressed, he is engaged in academics and therapy, he has friends and plans for the future. Had we not taken this drastic step of 24/7 intensive treatment, I believe that my son was destined for a life of avoidance and shutdown. [/QUOTE]
