[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]while none of my children have shown signs, my senior DS is leaving this summer for a rigorous university. It's crossed my mind that he might develop it while he's away. I'm not overly anxious about this[/quote] With respect: you are overly anxious about this. None of your children, including this one, have symptoms. The illness is OCD, not schizophrenia--if he develops it, it can be treated and catching it in the first week vs the first few months isn't likely to make much difference. There are no circumstances under which I, at 18, would have signed a medical power of attorney to my parents for this purpose. It is an anxiety symptom (and would have been in my mom as well) to ask for it. [/quote]
