[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680762, member: 11791"] Teens would be included, but not younger children. Serious mental illnesses usually start to show up in teens and young adults. Totally agree. My take is that Substance Abuse and this new one will be highly specific. In Substance Abuse, the primary driver is substance abuse. This is for kids of any age, but of course most will be teens and adults. The new forum will have mental and/or developmental challenges as the primary driver, for teens and adults. Same age group, different primary issues. Therefore, PE would be the "other" category - the adult extension of "General", covering whatever doesn't fit in specific categories. People may move between forums, or be on two different forums depending on which kid we are talking about. Someone in SA may find that once the addiction is dealt with, but the child is still difficult, they fit better in PE - or in the new forum depending on what the actual situation is. Or someone may start in PE, and then discover they are actually dealing with addiction. [/QUOTE]
