[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761578, member: 23706"] Oh. Some of the mentally ill can get better, even getting jobs and having families. We have medications and therapy (good therapy is no longer talking nonstop about your past, which is much of an improvement)...these newer therapies help some people greatly. But some, maybe most...who knows, either truly don't know that they are sick, or refuse to admit it. Thought disorders require medications like anti psychotics to clear up the mind and soften the hallucinations. All anti- psychotic medication so far have some side effects. Certain people would rather be sick than suffer side effects. Also therapy does help if you find one of the good psycholigists and are willing to work hard with the therapist. My husband and I struck gold. She used CBT with us....it still works!!! For us. BUT Kay would not consider seeing anyone nor admit something was wrong with her. She has never gone for help as an adult yet clearly she is sick. I do so much think that her primary diagnosis is RA,D. I have read on it so much... However, I have not read about any truly encouraging methods to help Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Once it seems Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) kids were tortured! I cried when I read about old methods of treatment. It was hideous. Fact is, psychiatry is still in its infancy. Nobody has nailed down what causes these illnesses. Theories are abundant but a theory is a guess. Everyone was excited about Freud. He was debunked. We are still struggling to understand and help, let alone cure. Nomad, we did our best in a world that does not understand how the brain works. So how could we? Hugs and love sent. [/QUOTE]
