[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 693910, member: 1550"] if his mental illness is a factor in his not working, I seriously believe it is best to file for Disability. IF that is why. The reason I feel its a good idea is that. if he is actually disabled due to his mental illness and ADHD, there are really good disability workers who will help him greatly toward finding a suitable job. it is worth it. Right now he isnt functioning. That may be his mental illness since he is not getting any treatment. My opinion is that people like me who have mood disorders (I was once dxd. bipolar 2 also) and anxiety can work. I think it helps us. But drpending on the degree of his illness, he could need guidance. I dont think he needs parental guidance. Our differently wired adult kids need to rely on people outside of us. We can't live forever. They need to have a trustworthy support system they can aside from us and I think our adult kids take direction better from outsiders. This is food for thought from another who always had mental illness and learning disabilities. Some people do need help, but with help they can find a good job fit. This does wonders for confidence! His raging amd moodswings likely would be helped greatly by medication. Does he see a psychiatrist? [/QUOTE]
