[QUOTE="klmno, post: 243104, member: 3699"] Thanks, Terry & A! I am thankful that at least a few people saw he needed to be where he is to begin with- the man at detention, the judge, the counselor who gave him an emergency evaluation, and the profs at the place that accepted him. So, both layman and profs did have concerns just like I did and that does make me feel better. Especially after PO had just said that he didn't need anything except to be locked in detention. She said that in the same breath that she said she never knew he'd done anything to hurt himself. Now, I'm just hoping he is where he is for a while. This is his unstable period (this time of year) and I know they realize that he needs therapy. They just don't know him well enough to see what is uncharacteristic of him. If they change his diagnosis, I just hope they are right and not making a mistake. At least the psychiatrist there said he's not sure if it's BiPolar (BP)- but that difficult child definitely has some sort of mood disorder. He didn't jump to a different diagnosis- he said he's still evaluation'ing it. If he seems very unsure about the BiPolar (BP) diagnosis after another few days, I'm going to ask him about doing a medication wash while difficult child is where he is. Maybe it is depression and anxiety, then difficult child having some kind of version of a nervous breakdown, instead of mania. They asked if he'd ever had an MRI, which he has not. I wish they would do one and more neuropsychologist testing while he's there. [/QUOTE]
