Thank you for your input. We live in a small town, and our Psych choices are very limited. He thinks his symptoms of feeling like he is in a video game and feeling like everything he does is predetermined, or like he is in a dream, is a part of BP that he just has to live with
and will not get better. Do you think that is correct?
I beleive I am a good mom, but I can't help this situation much. He is 24 and feels hopeless and lost.
