I also noted above that you said she had not been told her mom's diagnosis. Why not? DD may have a different diagnosis but she and her doctor both should know the family's full mental health history, OP. I'm sure dictors asked DD or you to list family medical history at some point in getting DD diagnosed. Not being able to list her mothers diagnosis is an issue (even if the diagnosis is ADHD and not BPD). Please help DD's doctors by telling her and them. She should know.

Good God, this. Schizophrenia, in particular, is highly heritable. You're not doing her or her treatment team any favors by keeping information off the table. [/quote]

OP, please, please come back and tell us that you've told DD about her mom's mental health history. And told her that her doctors must be told about this. Tell them yourself if that's doable. It DOES matter to how they work with DD.

OP here again.  I realized I need to tell my D this information.  I am trying to process the new information myself...  Meanwhile, my D's psychiatrist is adjusting her meds, allowing her to sleeping better.  My D is keeping a journal so her doctor can better evaluate how the meds are working.  [/quote]
