[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 648947, member: 1550"] Depends. Why is he in jail. Are drugs a problem? What are his issues? IF he is a drug addict, he has to want help, but there's actually help out there for those who want to take it. A diagnosis of Conduct Disorder may be right or wrong (I've seen enough horrible, bad, wrong diagnoses to trust any diagnosis without question). Do YOU think he has it? That would mean he has no regard for the rights of others and no remorse. He would show a lack of empathy and conscience. Do not confuse remorse with being sorry he got caught. Apples and oranges. Does he feel bad for what he did; for who he hurt? Does he really mean it or is he just scared now? These are questions to ponder. You know your son. Deep inside, you know the answers. You do not have to share them with us. I love neuropsychologists for diagnoses. I believe they do the best and most through evaluations. But the person being evaluated has to be 100% honest and it does take time and cost money and, in the end, may not help. If your son does have traits of Conduct Disorder, evaluations and medications likely won't work. I hope he doesn't have it and actually does see the light. Most of all..be good to yourself too.
