[QUOTE="DDD, post: 63092, member: 35"] I surely don't "know" but I sincerely doubt that your son would be transferred to a psychiatric hospital if he is now functioning well on the medications he is taking. Truthfully, it wouldn't make sense to me either. If he can function on medications then that is alot to be thankful for as many can't. I do understand the self-medication issue and believe me I understand your deep hurting concern. I am not the Board expert on mh issues but I do know more than I want to know about substance abuse and psychiatric issues. The worst thing that I know is that 16 year olds usually have the legal option to refuse all medication and care. It makes no sense but most often it is the law. They can legally self destruct. Sorry I don't have any positive input but I am glad he is safe for 28 days. Use that time to rest and get up to date on all the surrounding issues. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
