[QUOTE="klmno, post: 47588, member: 3699"] I understand their fear- I have felt it before and the LAST thing I want is for my difficult child to hurt himself or others. But no one in mental health considered him ACUTE yet- and what really gets me- the inpatient evaluation place would take him if the court ordered and paid for it- neither the GAL or the court appointed attny even brought this up. So it looks like either they determine he has no problems but me and needs to live somewhere else and be punished severly, or, he's a danger to society and needs to be locked up for years. There's not discussion about how to stabilize him, that even if he is bipolar, it is possible for bipolar people to get stabilized and live normal lives. There's no discussion aboout it taking time to find out if diagnosis should be bipolar or something else and what the treatment should be. I just feel like they are giving up too soon because they are afraid and don't have easy answers to the solution. When I know he was stabilized for 8-9 mos, i can't easily give up before letting docs re-evaluation him and reviewing diagnosis and trying new approach. What they are doing now is making things worse- not better. [/QUOTE]
