Anyone ever have a manic episode while not on meds that has been bad enough for this type of consequence? I am leaning towards going off my meds.
I don't know if this is true, as my husband has made things up in the past, but he did tell me that when I was first hospitalized in May that social services called and warned him that if I didn't stay in treatment we might be evaluated for our son's safety. Again I don't know if this was true as I never heard it mentioned again and I had two more hospitalizations after that. Plus someone would have had to report concerns since hospital records are not public knowledge. BUT I do believe that if someone, aka your pdoc, thought your kids were in danger because Of an episode you could definitely be investigated.
