When we met with the Social Worker assigned to my son in the psychiatric hospital on Monday, he asked something that sort of stuck with me over the past few days..."Does he remind you of anyone?"
At first, I thought, not really, and I gave the standard response listing off the diagnosis'd mental illness in the family (my mother's/grandmothers clinical depression, uncles/grandparents substance abuse, aunt's possible Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)). But the more I sit and mull it over, the more I nit pick and find things my son and I have in common.
It makes me wonder if I should meet with a psychiatrist and discuss my adolescence and see if there's anything of significance that would be of help to understanding/diagnosing my son.
Am I totally off my rocker now? :rofl:
