[quote=Anonymous]If you’re in northern Virginia there are NAMI groups for parents of adult children with serious mental illness. Many of the children also live out of state. It’s helpful to hear what’s going on. Definitely get tuition insurance for the next couple of years, since your chance of using it are rising. I got my adult child a medical work up, but good luck finding a doctor willing to test for all the exotic causes. A concierge doctor may do it. The vast majority of mentally ill people are not suffering from unicorn infections and illnesses. Names of roommates and landlords is a great idea. Keep in touch with them monthly. Many of them won’t understand that it’s a mental illness. But complaints about noise, neglect, property damage are big red flags of problems. I wouldn’t use the words mental illness (for your sons sake and trust), but do suggest you will intervene and pay for possible issues. [/quote]
