[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those were the exact same behaviors my son started exhibiting at age 15. Like to a T. It was not drugs or vaping. It was the onset of bipolar 2, which came with the most serious crushing depression and self injurious behavior and serious (not cry for help) suicide attempts as well as violence towards others.

This happened to my brother in his late teens/20s. He has never been tested for bipolar- my parents missed the signs. He was very smart, but has had lifelong issues related to mental illness. He does have delusions, hallucinations and paranoia, and is now 53.[/quote]

PP to whom you are responding. In all fairness to your parents, we have so much more information now and there is so much less stigma. Plus there is effective treatment. So it’s not surprising that it was missed. I’m sorry about your brother. Fortunately my son is stable now but it took years. And it’s been so long that I almost forgot about the paranoia, which was so unbelievably life limiting. [/quote]
