[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677644, member: 11791"] Agree. Then they get "stuck" there. If he is going to live in your home, then he MUST be doing "something" to move forward. I'm not sure I would make both medications and therapy mandatory - maybe for starters, some smaller steps, like treating others with respect, getting up at the same time every day and making his own breakfast and cleaning up after, bath/shower and change of clothes every day, leaving the house every single day - even if it's just a walk around the block to start with... ANY self-care would be an improvement. Then, slowly, when that is working consistently, add one more requirement. Rinse and repeat. At this point, you have no way to know if this is depression, depression plus something else, or drugs. It would be good to find this out. However, whatever the cause, this isn't the real person speaking. So, get mad at the illness/drugs, but keep the real person in your heart. [/QUOTE]
