[QUOTE="Still learning, post: 672509, member: 19780"] I realize this is a very old thread but I'm new here and it's the first one I found. I have read all of it and feel very discouraged. What I'm getting is that there is nothing family members of an adult person can do to help them and that we should detach for our own good. But how can that be? There must be things that can be said that can help otherwise what's the point of therapy? Depression takes over the young adult's mind and tells them everything is hopeless and pointless. As long as they believe that they won't seek help. How can people say that it's their choice when the illness has taken over their ability to think straight and make good choices? Does anyone have a positive outcome to share because after reading this thread I'm terrified. We are just starting on this journey and now I'm more scared than ever. [/QUOTE]
