[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 699386, member: 1550"] Bipolar, if the diagnosis is right, is treatable and people with mood disorders can go to college and work, marry and have a normal life if they are medication compliant. I have a serious mood disorder that I haven't felt for decades due to good medications, compliance and therapy when needed. It is like diabetes. If you don't take your insulin you can be in big trouble. If you eat well and watch your sugar levels, you can work, have a family, live a good life. Your daughters choices determine her quality of life. She can do what everyone else does. The personality disorder, if that diagnosis is true, can be a bigger problem if it is antisocial, narcissistic, histrionic or borderline. But she can get therapy for that if she really wants to change and is willing to work very hard to learn coping skills. Dialect behavior therapy is the gold star for borderline. Do remember that psychiatry is not an exact science. There are no ways to verify if the diagnostitian is correct or not. It's an opinion, sonetimes very right and sometimes wrong. No blood tests exist to test for accuracy. Use your mom gut. [/QUOTE]
