[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 718518, member: 19290"] Stay strong. Wise people on this board have helped me to believe that even those with emotional disorders are responsible for and capable of choosing to get or accept help -- only certain serious mental illnesses deprive people of the awareness that they need help. Addiction makes it hard to choose help over substances but it cannot be overcome until they make a choice to stop. So I guess what I'm saying is to help him with depression in any way you can except to permit self-medicating with pot. Pot exacerbates both anxiety and depression in the long run even though it may help them avoid symptoms temporarily. Be understanding but firm. [/QUOTE]
