[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming Holmes is mentally ill.

This is a man who is 24 years old and lives half a country away from his parents.  He could have been suffering from mental illness his entire life or it could have manifested after he got his undergrad.  I wouldn't blame his parents at this point.  Those with mental illness can often hide it well or parents don't know that the behaviours they are seeing are a result of mental illness.  They could just think their kid is quirky or just a little different. Even if they did know his was mentally ill there isn't much they could do about it because of his age.

I have a mentally ill kid that's been in therapy since he was 3.  DH has never been around children and didn't realize there was something off with our own son.  It took our boy being committed at the age of six to realize there was something really wrong with him and it wasn't my imagination.  Our only plan is to get DS all the therapy we can fit it while he's in our care.  We want to make sure that he is aware of the signs and symptoms of his illness so he can tell that he's going of the rails.

I'm so sorry PP- how did you know at age 3?  [/quote]
