[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 683908, member: 18958"] Robin Williams it turned out had a degenerative brain disease, I believe. His suicide may well have been rationally thought through, not necessarily a product of mentally disordered thinking in the main. What I am trying to say here is that usually after all is said and done, things come out in the wash. It is not necessarily that a diagnosis clarifies things, but people by their own choices and actions and attitudes themselves clarify what were the causes. But this is done over time and cannot be anticipated. Your daughter may have latitude in deciding how she lives her life. Despite whatever diagnosis she may receive. People on this board and in life and especially in the mental health professions will bandy about diagnoses. [I]They do not necessarily know[/I]. It takes time to sort it all out. Your daughter will do this by her conduct. She will show you how much control she has and how much responsibility she will take. There are reasons for things, yes. But sometimes it takes choosing differently. That is where parents come in. I believe very strongly that adult children can still learn from the guidance of their parents, even if it is subtle and not directly communicated. Some parents on this board strongly disagree with me, I am aware. So you will have an assortment of viewpoints from which to see your situation. A good thing. [/QUOTE]
