Nuts.

This sounds like PCP.  This is absolute nightmare fuel.[/quote]

Here's the assailant.

10 years ago. [/quote]

I found that too.  Jeez, I wonder what happened between then and now in this person's life.[/quote]

Most mental illness hits while kids are in college.[/quote]

It started in early childhood, people. Pay attention to what happens early on in your child’s life.[/quote]

But is there much you can even really do about development of mental illness? My brother is mentally ill, while myself and our younger sister are 100% fine and completely responsible adults. Same house, same parents, same focus on extra curriculars and education, etc. Same family problems too - but so many have issues.

However, my brother was "problematic" starting in kindergarten. It just continued escalating into his teens. He joined the military, which set him straight for about 10 years. But once he was out of the military & the structure it provided, he went completely off the deep end.

So yes, you can "pay attention" in childhood. There were certainly signs that something was not right with him. [b]But what is a parent supposed to do?[/b][/quote]

There is a lot parents can do.

They can properly medicate the child that has a mental illness. They can provide appropriate therapy to the child with mental illness.  They can put the child in the environment best suited for a child with mental illness.

What they should not do is stick their head in the sand and pretend their child is fine.[/quote]

Schizophrenia and bipolar don’t manifest during childhood. [/quote]

+1.  More common is that kids are described as quirky/odd or have behavioral problems—nothing that is diagnosable as serious mental illness, though, just recollections in hindsight.[/quote]
