[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 674623, member: 14557"] They plan to discharge him tomorrow. It seems this TMS treatment is being helpful with him and while he certainly isn't okay or miraculously cured, he seems more alive and less listless. Sleep issues are still bad but at least they are not discharging him with benzos. Luckily also his TMS continues with early morning appointments so that may help to keep sleep pattern even with his issues of getting sleep and waking up middle of the night. Sleeping late would not make things any better, I think even if the morning would be the time he actually could get sleep. Outpatient plan has biweekly psychiatric nurse visits and and appointments with psychiatrist every two weeks for beginning. There is also a group therapy he started at the hospital (they call it 'depression school' and it apparently aims to learn to know and live with the condition) he will continue going and we already had two family therapy visits during his stay and will have few more after the discharge, because he will be discharged to our home. His treatment team and he decided against Day Hospital but father in law has promised to babysit him at least now at the beginning. Not a perfect world nor situation but sad thing is, that we apparently got lucky with treatment. They kept him three weeks and till there was improvement that is a long time for someone 'just depressed' (as in, not psychotic or manic.) I talked with a friend who knows the ins and outs of the system well and she told me we were really lucky doctor last fall didn't add Borderline (BPD) to Ache's papers, because with that, he would had very possible been kicked out from ER after one night as 'attention seeker.' Same with him not being drunk or high when going to ER. For those people they apparently just give and outpatient contact and appointment (that can often times be a week or even month away.) [/QUOTE]
