[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:40 here and I agree wholeheartedly with PP. If you’re in group 3, talk therapy won’t fix this the child or sibling. (Although it might be helpful for you, just to process it all ). [/quote]

A hopeful person here that some combination of cognitive behavior therapy and new meds will get my child back on track.[/quote]

I'm the PP with the kid in college who worries about this possibility.

I didn't mean to imply that CBT or DBT plus meds don't ever work.  They do.  They can make a huge difference for many people.  They've made a huge difference for many people I know, and so far seem to be helping my son.   Already he's far surpassing family members in previous generations with the same diagnosis, in terms of his ability to do things like hold a paying job.  So, I think you have every reason to be hopeful.

But just like any other life threatening disease, the fact that some people find cures or solutions that let them live productive lives doesn't mean that the people who aren't cured, or their parents are doing something wrong.  It means that these diseases look different in each person, and what works is different for each person.  Some people might find success with the first thing they tried.  Some, like my kid (I hope) might find success with the 10th thing they tried.  And some may not find it ever or for a very long time.[/quote]
