I do know another reason that dr's are hesitant to help my brother too much with meds right now too...suicide. he's a risk and if they give him meds he may use them for the wrong reasons. then they face a lawsuit. however, life without the meds is hell too. it seems to be a vicious circle...and so sad to watch.

i feel so frastrated for ppl in this position. a program should be in place where a pharmacy can give daily meds or the dr's office. i know this would be time consuming, but appropriate...and what about dedication to these hurting and ill ppl. maybe even bring a family member in to dole out meds if possible. there has to be a dedication to the mentally ill ppl who need special care!

i'm going to investigate this further, because time is limited here. my brother will soon be going back into a mania and won't follow thru with what he's trying to do right now, because he won't see himself as ill any longer.

i'll let you know what i find out.

be safe,
