[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 714389, member: 1550"] Depression, which I fought all my life, is a common mental illness, not fun, but does not make you helpless or irresponsible. Those are personality traits. No medications make one responsible. Many irresponsible people dont have depression. Many depressed people are still responsible and do not substance abuse. The issue here is responsibility and not driving under the influence. Your son most of all needs to want to grow up. Remember, many of our kids claim mental illness because they want us to be soft on their bad behavior and think they cant help it. Sometimes its just manipulation. [/QUOTE]
