[QUOTE="overcome mom, post: 738350, member: 23328"] I guess it's just semantics . If it is called neurological or a mental illness it really is the same, something in the body is off. Whether it is cause by how the neurons fire or the different amount of certain chemicals/hormones it really doesn't matter. That was somewhat my point in my original post, that it is the same as any medical illness it just effects the thought process and mental behavior. We don't call Alzheimer's a mental illness but it does effect the thought process and behavior. I think as science progresses we will find out more and more how our body works, influences how we think and act. Of course they use to think it was caused by the devil or some evil spirit. There is more going on with my son than ADD that is for sure, what ever label ,bipolar, personality disorder he has a very hard time dealing with life. It is so very hard to watch him struggle. You are right he has to find his way to deal with it and get on in the world. I too don't believe much of what my son tells me about jail-prison . I was the one who called the jail about the medical need and that is what the guard told me. I worked in the correctional field for a while and there is a lot of messed up things that happe when someone is incarcerated. [/QUOTE]
