[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 720605, member: 18958"] shelley. i am sorry. my son too is dual diagnosis. would you be willing to share by private message the names of the bay area programs that take mentally ill? i am in ca too. i feel your fear and horror. it is the vulnerability that makes this so much harder. and other people sometimes do not see the vulnerability. just the drugs. i worked in prisons many years. many of the men had meth psychosis. if their sentence was long enough the psychosis quite frequntly cleared. i live in an area with heavy meth use for almost 30 years. i can see on the street and in stores (working!!)all the people who have quit and are functioning. how they did it i do not know. but they did. ps i did not prescribe medication but i monitored response. they did seem to respond. the drug caused the brain to change. as you know. it can take a long time to mend. your son's sweetness speaks to his mother and your relationship. there is a mother here whose son has schizophrenia. she has posted here over 2 years since she had to put out her son and file a restraining order. she has a thread. her name is feeling sad. it is hard for me to not go to the worst place with my sadness and fear. but a lot ofbtime the worst thing does not happen. if he has not turned to crime he may not. some strength in him is prevailing. it seems.
