Hi Journey Upwards,
Thanks so much for your info. My son has now gone from the wilderness program to a school where there will be a psychiatrist involved everyday. I spoke to the nurse and she was optimistic about helping D. He is so far from us. All these programs are out west. The nurse feels he will be helped by finding the proper meds which no one has found yet. He was also given anti depressants and was terribly messed up from those. When we finally saw a regular psychiatrist he told us that was like throwing gas on the fire for a bipolar person. I am just so upset he did something so violent. He has never done anything like that before. The counselors felt he was so desperate he would do anything to speak to us and try to get us to take him home. That is not an option. His psychiatrist here said it is best for him to be in a long term residential treatment program for now. They will offer college prep classes and let him get caught up in school. I am afraid to hope for anything it has been such a long nightmare. I know what you mean about getting tired of it. Hang in there. I wish you much luck in your journey and thank you for your help, Raisin
