[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 741021, member: 1550"] Copa I believe and trust most of what you say. But, if in fact this adult is bipolar and nothing else which cant be proven, medications do not work for everyone. And it can be a decade to find medications that work if they do. It took me a decade to find medications that not just took the edge off but demolished my depression. And therapy helped too. It is a lot of our cooperation and being a ginea pig. What helps one person may cause a toxic reaction to another. Rarely is it a slam dunk. In many people the medications good affect wears off and constantly needs changing. Some need monrhly shots. I work with the young mentally ill and it is not easy to maintain stabilization nor is it easy to get a correct diagnoses since there are no blood tests to prove what anyone has. It is guesswork. Now if only adults live in one's home and are willing to risk a beat down if the patient loses it, I think that is a personal choice. But if two young children live there too, I personally feel it is immoral to take a chance that a child could be seriously injured because an adult with a history of violence burned all his bridges and we feel bad. The minor children need protection first and foremost. This is a man who beat up his grandma more than once. He could have a personality disorder on top of bipolar and there are no medications for that. Bipolar seems to be overdiagnosed in my opinion with doctors ignoring more serious possibilities. And again there is no test to prove one has bipolar and not antisocual persoonality disorder, which of yet can not be treated and can be deadly. The doctors guess because of a lack of scientific testing in psychiatry. I am not perfect. This is just my opinion. I would not ever allow this man in my house. He in my opinion needs to learn to function on his own. In his own area. However he can. But he needs to leave grandma and the kids alone. They are vulnerable and ge bullies the vhlnerable. And there will never be a guarantee he wont go off again. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
