[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]an engaged grandparent, aunt, uncle or other family friend is better than any therapist for a teen. at least that's my opinion[/quote] I agree!! My mother has been a GOD SEND for my boys! She really is a safe place for them. She listens, does not judge and gives out so much unconditional love. I'm so glad to still have my amazing mom in my kids lives. I don't consider myself a bad parent, but nothing beats a loving grandmother.[/quote] This. Therapy will fill up the emptiness that some parents created in heir child's life, but it will not solve the problem in a long run. It is much easier for a parent to accept some mental health diagnosis, spend tons of time and money rather than admit that they failed as a parent and start working on their relations with child.[/quote] What about children who have healthy fulfilling relationships with their parents, but still suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or other mental health issues?[/quote] Meds and lots and lots of yoga, meditation, exercise and practicing good social skills to make and keep friends.[/quote] Sorry, but yoga and friendships don't cure or even treat bipolar, schizophrenia, and other mental disorders. Help manage? Yes. Treat or cure?Not even.[/quote] And reading comprehension programs for others! I listed meds as the first thing in my list. Meds. Meds. Meds. I also said chemical balancing is essential for these people, way over therapy. No therapist ever saved a bipolar or schizophrenic. Trust me. I have them in my family. It's all about the meds to save a life. Then, when they are chemically balanced, it's time to teach them social skills, trust, etc.[/quote]
