| Thought Disorder?
My son's diagnosis has gone back and forth since Christmas, schizophrenia, bi-polar, schizophrenia, bipolar......now they're calling it a "thought disorder." From what I'm reading, that's another way to say schizophrenia? Does anyone have any experience?
Also last week during a group session (he's in intensive out outpatient care) the Dr. stressed to me that it was my right and in his opinion my RESPONSIBILITY to get all of the information they had on my son before he is released from their program. Wow, that's different. At 20, my son is an adult, getting information even with signed releases has not been easy since this event started.
The Dr. I was speaking to at the time is Indian and seems to have some cultural difficulties speaking directly to a woman so communications were awkard. But I had the definate feeling that he was trying to tell me my son is dangerous. Or maybe it just sounds to me like "thought disorders" would be inherently dangerous.
On the other hand, I guess I really already know that since his first episode began with trying to kill other motorists. ::sigh:: Hopefully I'll learn more this week. |
