[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 150012, member: 1550"] I need to clarify what I said :) Right now he doesn't sound like he has a thought disorder. But I would want him in the care of a GOOD Psychiatrist (they are not all created equal) because he is at high risk to develop schizophrenia or bipolar and if that day comes, he will need medication. Perhaps a good Psychiatrist can spot signs before they become obvious and stabilize him before it gets worse. I was told that unmedicated bipolar just causes worse cycling (I have bipolar and am completely unstabale without medications). However, with my medications I live a normal life. It's like diabetes to me. I take my two medications every night and life goes on. I understand waiting to the last for medication, but serious psychiatric problems, based on body chemistry, need treatment just like any medical disorder. Right now, something may be emerging. Schizophrenia and Bipolar can be there when kids are very young, but often develop late and, in the case of schizophrenia, a seemingly "normal" child can almost get sick overnight. Often this is in the teens, but can happen as late as the twenties. Usually there were some signs, not obvious, that were passed up. in my opinion it's best to have the best help in place just in case. A good therapist can augment the treatment. Anyway, no matter what you do, good luck! [/QUOTE]
