My son also had his first sign of bipolar disorder right after he turned 18 and took LSD to celebrate. We also did not understand what was happening...your description of Zach's first experience reminded me very much of what my son went through.<br /><br />It's 3 years later, he doesn't take his medication (Depakote) although he hasn't been honest with the psychiatrist about this (whom he sees twice yearly). He does take Ambien to sleep and that's the only reason he even visits the doctor.<br /><br />He's a 3rd year student at a university and for the most part I think he concentrates on his studies. But he uses recreational drugs (like Zach) when he's home from school and is terribly unhappy with himself and his life. His behavior is similar to the way you described Zach in the book - very self-centered, absolutely no gratitude, rude to us, no concept of how his behavior damages others, etc.<br />He's only had one extended psychosis (about 6 weeks - when he was 18) but nearly slipped again recently....somehow took some Risperdal and salvaged himself. He also doesn't admit to his illness and is paradoxically willing to put random substances into his body, but not recommended mood stabilizers.<br />I would love to correspond with you personally. Please let me know if this would be possible.Annenoreply@blogger.com
