[QUOTE="Andy, post: 233290, member: 5096"] That is interesting. It could have fit why my difficult child was admitted last Fall. He was "falling apart" and deterioration of functioning would perfectly fit him. Because his anxiety was so deep, he was becoming physically unable to function. His fear was paralyzing him. It was like he was shutting down. I would describe it that daily care chores are very difficult to accomplish or are not being done - when someone stops taking care of themselves - but parents take care of kids so it is harder to meet. It would be when a person just stops normal living activities? We see this in kids as refusals - school refusal, personal care refusal, refusing to leave the house, ect. He had self harm thoughts but no intention of acting on them - in fact, he was fighting them. So, they could have admitted him as a danger to himself but I don't know. I was so upset myself that I didn't understand which criteria was met for admission but I knew he was getting help. I got the feeling that the psychiatric hospital was snatching a neglected child from a terrible mom and nurturing him back to health. I was treated with respect so I am sure the self doubt was all my own doing. [/QUOTE]
