[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746229, member: 1550"] I dont want to post here if it hurts anyone. I agree. I would quit posting if that happened. I am thinking mostly of Bags and her safety and am hoping very much that the professionals can figure out how to help L. One thing I thought of when I read your last paragraph is that I have actually had great success with.....NeuroPsycologists!! No, they cant prove a diagnoses but they have really state of the art testing that are as close as one can get to a blood test . If L can see one in one of the hospital, that would be such a good opportunity for him. For B. as well. They are different than therapists. They dont jump on a scary diagnoses. They do a tremendous amount of testing. I think psychiatrists sometimes talk for a half an hour to somebody and with no testing at all just diagnose too fast. That makes me leery. I prefer testing first. I did get a lot at Great University. Have you heard of the MMPI test? I took it twice, once when I was first admitted and once before I left. I took two other tests too. I dint remember much about one. It was short....i had to fill in some blanks. One was the ink blot test. For a very very creative young woman, I thought that the ink blot test was a riot. I had lots of fun taking it. That MMPI test was about 600 or more true/false questions about yourself and told my doctor a lot. But you have to tell tje truth. There is a lie scale. My test showed I had not lied, I had no thought disorders and that I had moderate to severe depression. The i kblot test was basically normal with depression. Maybe that could also help uncover what makes him tick. I dont know if they do the MMPI anymore. [/QUOTE]
