I agree wholeheartedly and thankfully he does too (today at least haha). My sister is extremely mentally ill and has been in and out of mental hospitals since she was 10...so for 10 years. and i'm by no mean an expert yet but i am a 3rd year psych major. soo i do understand the importance of seeing a doctor and a therapst. i'm just having a heck of a time getting him an appt w/ someone. we each called about ten places to get him the appt w/ the psychologist. thank you very much for the advice tho i will def. make sure he sees both.
