This is quite interesting. Cory had a new assessment yesterday and while I know many people dont agree with the "who" of was doing the assessment I totally agree with the findings. His answers were quite enlightening. I got to sit in on the interview because he allowed it and they needed info on past stuff that he simply didnt remember. (He couldnt care less about telling stuff in front of me after all this time)
He was diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with last episode unknown based on history. Personality Disorder not otherwise specified with traits of Antisocial and Narcissistic, and Substance Abuse.
Cory stated his major problems were decision making skills, impulsive behaviors, being easily led by other people, wanting what he wanted when he wanted it and that there was no stopping him when he got something in his mind because he felt he had the right to do it, "creative ways of deciding if something was really right or wrong" such as if a house was condemned and gonna be demolished what was so wrong in stealing stuff from it if they were gonna tear it down anyways? In his mind nothing. No boundaries where it comes to his parents or siblings.
Interesting that he seems to understand that he cannot rage or cuss and act out in certain places like a courtroom or a therapists office but finds no problem acting the fool at home, around friends or even in public at times. He said if he thinks he could get arrested for raging that is what makes the difference. Hmmmm. Control.
