[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 638874, member: 14557"] One more thing that bothers me a lot is that we sometimes 'give' diagnosis in very unhelpful way. Is it the other thing to ask if some diagnose has been consider or tell that this or that behaviour brings some diagnose to our mind. But telling people that their loved one likely has personality disorder (without ever meeting the person and after reading thousand words of parent venting) or better yet; that their five-year-old will likely grow up to be a psychopath and it is in his genes and nothing can be done is rather horrifying. It doesn't much help even if you add the disclaimer to the end and mention that you are not a MD and can't diagnose. Especially when people are desperate they are willing to grasp any answers or advises they get. And it is indeed a tragedy if we let someone to believe their young child is incurable when they are not. Or even let them believe their adult or older teen kid has no hope when in reality the kid may be suffering 'just' young male type depression for example. [/QUOTE]
