Hello fearful,

If you don't mind me asking what were the circumstances of you loosing your son? There must have been something very serious happening for this to occur. I really feel for you and I just wish courts and others could understand that we can get better by degrees.

The problem is there that there are marked differences between types of mental disorders ie; psychoses vs neuroses and while one has very little probability to be cured the other might be but as yet from my knowledge at this point I don't know of anyone who has been cured of a mental illness. I have only seen hiatus' of symptoms for a period of time due to medication.

I really wish you luck with this. The main thing is to be able to handle the whole thing without you going down hill again and getting doctors to prove that you are ok. The main thing in their considerations will be the physical emotional and mental welfare of your son.

Please keep posting so that we can try to help you through this, it must be awful for you
