[quote=Anonymous]Anyone BTDT?
Background: Young adult DS with depression, anxiety and ADD. Numerous behaviors that are odd and dysfunctional. Mood is generally stable, still moderately depressed and unmotivated. Taking prescribed meds as directed.
Things observed that I want to pass on (and I realize there is confidentiality between DS and providers, so they will take info, but not share back with me): Lying episodes, evidence of what I think are self-sabotaging behaviors, and expressions of suicidal thoughts.
The suicidal stuff is a concern, obviously, but he has no plans and it was only a one time expression of "sometimes I think it would be better if I'd never been born" and "I would never do anything, because I love you, and it would hurt you too much".
Because of the lying, I am afraid he might be glossing over things with his therapist and psychiatrist. I have no way of knowing obviously, so I want to be sure they are getting a different viewpoint.
What do you think? Do I do this by email, a phone call? Has it been helpful for your loved one, if you have given the therapist and/or doctor more info?[/quote]
