[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 761377, member: 22840"] I'm at a lose here. So if someone becomes psychotic because of drug use then it's okay for them to remain that way? As if it's there fault on their part so let them suffer? What is someone who is psychotic to learn from anything like this? To what extent does this make any sense morally, legally, logically? I hate to say it but even though that idjat lawyer has been paid for, I think I'd be looking for someone else more connected to reality to advocate for your son's care. I could be wrong, because my son's psychosis has not been from drugs, but I think even if Meth is involved in the psychosis then the person is in dire need of psychological treatment in order to get them out of this psychosis, period. It's not something to let go for however long, just see if it resolves itself because of what they did. To me an analogy would be ~ say someone jumped off of a wall so high where most people would know they might break their leg. And because most people would know it's not a good idea, the person who jumped was left to deal for weeks and months with a broken leg, with no treatment. Makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
