[QUOTE="tmay, post: 186408, member: 5767"] Thanks for the welcome. I don't mind answering your questions, anything that will help. Was your son given a diagnosis when discharged from the hospital? [COLOR=red]Unfortunately, I was not given much info from the hospital and what I was given I had to ask for. I never got to talk to the dr., when I asked they said he is really hard to track down. The nurse said my son"[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]s chart said mood disorder non specific.[/COLOR][COLOR=red] What was so frustrating about his stay at the hospital is he never acted up once, he was a perfect gentleman.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR] Did he have any testing in the hospital? [COLOR=red]They did some routine blood work and general assesements but as far as I know that is all. We go to his counselor today who has all the records so I will ask her more specifically.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR] Was he started on any medications? [COLOR=red]He was started on Respirdal and has had the dose upped twice but still doesn't seem to be effective.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR] Were you given a discharge plan? [COLOR=red]No, when they discharged him they asked him what got him there and what he will do when he goes home and told us to follow up with our current psychiatrist (which we have yet to see) and our counselor. It lasted all of about 10 minutes.[/COLOR] Any mental health issues or substance absue in the family tree?
