My son is currently in a mental health facility...again. This time it was depression which disolved into major melt downs.. 3 in less than 24 hours.
His diagnosis bipolar, add, odd, anxiety. They are ready to dismiss him because of his behavior in their unit. The rational is he is being manipulative in order to gain access to a friend being housed on another unit. He is 15 and in high school and within the first week was suspended for having an emotional outburst. When he comes home he will have to return to school or the state will be on my case. I do not feel that he can go to school given his current volitale episodes. He is on medication and has not responded well in the past nor is he now. I do not receive any financial help through the state so the costs are all on me. I do not know where to go from here. Oh, and I am about to lose my job due to the amount of time I miss trying to keep him in school and out of the hospital. Sorry for rambling I am just scared to bring him home and do not know what to do next. Any thoughts or advice from others will be welcome with open arms.
