Thanks for the hugs.
He saw a psychiatrist at the hospital today and seemed like he really felt better after the talk. I wasn't home but the psychiatrist called my husband and said he suspects my son might have Bipolar II disorder. It feels so good to at least know there is a name for what he has and a treatment. It seems like Bipolar II is a somewhat milder form of Bipolar Depression. I am thankful for 'milder' but mostly grateful that we have at least something to go on.
The puzzle pieces are starting to come together I hope, hope, hope.
He doesn't even remember most of what went on the in the ER on Friday night. I went to visit him today and he said "What happened?" It's kind of scary but at least we have a start.
