teenyweeny Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 You used to bang on about how debilitating it was, now it's only "mild" ? long term ilness is debilitating,mild being no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callippo Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 schizophrenia is diagnosed 3 to 1, boys vs. girls and onset is typically around adolesence. Let's hope it isn't that but if it is, the earlier its treated, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 schizophrenia is diagnosed 3 to 1, boys vs. girls and onset is typically around adolesence. Let's hope it isn't that but if it is, the earlier its treated, the better. I've had a schizophrenic stepdaughter; this doesn't sound like the same set of symptoms. Although there's a fairly wide variety of possible ways it could set on, of course. It is quite possible that he's just another lazyass unresponsive teenage boy; if it seems to his mother to be more than that, it might be worth talking her concerns over with her doctor, but if the boy doesn't want to be examined there's not a lot that can be done about it.

teenyweeny Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 my son today has seemed to make a quick recovery,hes up and about..was rather worrying..hes now complaining of being bored..i will soon kick him into shape theres a few jobs i need doing around the house.weather i get them done or not is another story.it is worrying for me when i see him like that..maybe i was over reacting.i have spoken to my son and he has told me to stop worrying,and going on.that he just felt a bit unwell yesterday and there is no need to worry.with him being the youngest i tend to over protect him.but i am keeping my eye firmly on him..

gularscute Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I don't believe that anxiety and depression can be passed on genetically but, obviously, children can pick up behavioural traits from observing their parents. I don't think you've anything to feel guilty about Teeny Weeny, children's development is very complex and no parent can claim to be a perfect example or to be entirely responsible for how their kids turn out. You're clearly a loving parent otherwise you wouldn't be asking the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look here: http://www.sheffieldhelpyourself.org.uk/full_search_new.asp?group=24708 It helps people who suffer from anxiety, isolation, panic attacks etc, with therapy, including CBT, and self help groups. It won't suit everyone who needs or wants help, but you could always give them a ring and see if they could help you in any way. I believe people can also get referrals via their GP.
