[QUOTE="completelydrained, post: 742177, member: 23455"] Thank you for all your kind words. I used to teach alternatives to guardianship so, it's probably helpful for you to know that I fully understand its powers and limitations. It's probably important for you to know also, that it would take an act of congress to even get my son to a psychiatrist for a diagnosis. My husband tried once and he just walked out. He watched his brother's journey with schizophrenia and the last thing he needs is a diagnosis and a pill. His words not mine. He does not have schizophrenia. There is no psychosis. There are also no addictions, thank God! Lucky there! There is a personality change that began after the head injury and has evolved into the symptoms I mentioned in my first post. It's important to me to clarify I hold no blame toward people who work within the mental health system. They can only work within the borders of the laws that currently prevail. It is the laws and the legislators who refuse to change those laws I hold responsible for our current state of affairs. Also, the prevailing ignorance of the worried well who see mental illness as a scourge they must avoid at all costs. The stigma is ridiculous. Thank you again for your prayers and well wishes!
