[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 733199, member: 13303"] Hi there, I am sorry for what you're dealing with. My teen stepson is bipolar and we are not sure what his future holds. He has told his therapist that he craves the manic phases...this has us worried for compliance with mood stabilizing medications. So I can relate to an extent, at least. Not to nitpick, but if your son forgets to take his medicine, he isn't compliant. He may be willing to take the medications, but if he does not take them, he isn't compliant.He does sound like he isn't responsible enough to live independently at this time. Have you applied for SSI on his behalf and does he have an adult services caseworker? If he has an IEP the school should already have these wheels grinding for him. [/QUOTE]
