Upon m...So get that - the mental health carousel. <br /><br />Upon my unstable sons discharge last night from an acute stay the doc gave me a letter to give to everyone who needs it to explain that he needs a residential placement ASAP. A typed, two page letter explaining that he is not stable, "incapable of community based functioning," has had multiple outpatient interventions and several acute stays "which have failed to stabilize him..." <br /><br />And for all that the hospitals and outpatient have done that has not worked ... they also had to include a statement that said we would also need family therapy in establishing the necessary structure and consistency he would need to be successful in a home setting. <br /><br />Really? All that and more meds than a lil old person takes and they even want to entertain the idea that *I* do not have enough structure and consistency?<br /><br />Me thinks the mental health field has a hard time saying they can't accomplish it. If two dozen diagnoses and a host of meds can't do it - must surely be the parent! ;-P<br /><br />(((Hugs))) to you.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14122523240530303277noreply@blogger.com
