[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also there are young 20 somethings dealing with serious illness that others don't know about. I've avoided family because I'm not going to explain why my kid is neither working nor going to school right now. His medical issues are his business and he wants privacy. [/quote] Hmm[/quote] DP: Hmm what? PP is absolutely correct that one does not share another adult's medical information without their permission, particularly to nosy gossips. [/quote] When you never explain anything to anyone, the people assume the worst. And not like cancer or a stroke, which most people do disclose. But severe mental or psychological issues or addictions. You can label them medical issues for as long as you wish, but those are actual medical issues are helpful to discuss with others and get good references, ideas, treatment info, etc. I know very few people who successfully battled a physical medical issue/infection/disease and did not solicit help, ideas, second and third opinions. You can’t fight that stuff in a private person silo. Doctors are people too. Double check their work, they are very busy. [/quote]
