[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 657643, member: 11791"] And as Cedar said... we all have different perspectives. In my little family, we did not see the signs of mental illness... until drugs came into the picture. The drugs multiplied the symptoms of what was already there. How do we know it was already there if we didn't see it in the first place? We didn't know what to look for. There were subtle signs all the way through. If we could have caught the mental illness earlier, maybe there would not have been street drugs. But if WE had caught it earlier, there is little chance the medical system would have backed us. Somehow with kids and teenagers, they "don't want to give labels". But... once drugs are in the picture, you have to get rid of them before anything else can be dealt with. They complicate the picture far too much. [/QUOTE]
