[quote=Anonymous]My brother became bipolar schizophrenic at 13. Thankfully I was in college BUT it was downright dangerous and scary for my parents. They were on the fence of sending him to a facility that he would be housed at for 10 months with weekend visits. They learned to live a regimented life and were given therapy, wrap around services and holistic healing and wellness in- house. Medication and learning to cope was also included. I wish my parents did send him as that would probably have prevented his early death as a suicide. If I had a younger sibling, I am 100% positive they would have sent him. But, they ended up with a LOT of hospitalizations, damage to the home, cars, and severed a lot of relationships due to his violent explosions. I loved my brother to death but at times had to distance myself when I had kids. One rant or episode towards my eldest daughter and I was done.[/quote]
