[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 333858, member: 1835"] So, an update...after a blow-up, my son admitted that he's not happy about his jobless, car-less, depending-on-Mommy-and-Daddy, situation and wants to change, but he hesitates because he feels overwhelmed and afraid of failing, i.e., taking the driver's test for his license. He was prescribed medication (Seroquil) for possible mild bipolar but admits that he's been taking it only at night instead of before bed and in the morning as prescribed because he falls sleeps during the day if he takes it in the morning, i.e., the reason he lost his one and only job the first week. He hasn't discussed this with his doctor. In an effort to determine whether he's simply a "lazy bum" (his words) or if he actually does have bipolar, and it's playing more of a part that we thought in addition to being incorrectly or incompletely medicated, I suggested and he, surprisingly, agreed to a psychiatric evaluation by a completely new physician who can take a fresh approach to my son and his issues. Only another baby step, but it's in the right direction and at least he's not standing still. [/QUOTE]
