SJAM, Im sorry you had to hear that from her but I pretty much feel the same way she does about the prognosis for people like our kids with that diagnosis. Cory carries the same diagnosis. I know that his future is grim and uncertain unless he chooses to do something about it. I cant force him.
The outlook for ASPD is horrible. There is almost no treatment that will work unless the person truly wants to change and most with that PD dont think they have a problem! I dont want to say that I have completely given up hope but Im about 85% there. I still hold on to that 15% thinking one day he may see the light.
In my opinion getting a psychiatrist who deals with ASPD and inmates would be so beneficial that I think I could live with what she said...unless you can find someone else closer. Treating a personality disorder is much harder than just medicating bipolar.
