[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the writer not very likeable. DMV has lots of resources and specializations available. Very trained specialists and high quality professionals. I don’t think this is the best case of mental health shortages in the US.

Try flyover country where you may drive 5 hours to see a mental health specialist.

Her daughter sounds very difficult and may not be stable at all. Sounds very tough. [/quote]

Tell us about your child's mental illness and the ease in which you found "lots of resources available". [/quote]

Seriously? The problem in DMV is a bunch of spoiled parents who sit in a richness of therapy and specialist offerings. You even have some specialized schools.  Elsewhere it’s general therapy, no “group DBT for children”. That’s unheard of elsewhere.  It’s all general therapists. I had to pay therapists to train me the parent.

You’re lucky if it’s a child therapist. And even worse you think a 30 minute drive is “too far.”[/quote]
