That's really the most annoying thing. My father denies my bipolar disorder, but was willing to help me with my panic disorder back in Sept 2006, he even printed out pages about it and breathing techniques. I think he's made some research on the subject but doesn't want to believe it since bipolar disorder is a "serious mental illness". Oh well.. At least he agreed to attend a family meeting with my psych nurse. Maybe that will help.

Do you think you could somehow convince your mom to do the same? Like.. If you say you're not really feeling well mentally, and that it would help a lot if she attended one, that she doesn't have to really believe everything the psychiatrist says since she thinks they're quacks heh, but maybe she would think about what's been talked about and eventually it would get to her.

Just a thought.
