They have released my eldest son from the hopsital and his Bi-Polar disorder and Psychosis seem to be well under control. He's got to get right in to see his regular psych and councelor. He seems a lot better than he's been in a long time. The hospital was a lot better than I thought it would be. It has a bad reputation but both of his therapists there seemed to be truly helpful. They were very sensitive to his AS and trying to understand him. I hope he never has to go back but if he does I think we can get help there.

Very glad to hear things are OK. I hope this is the start of an upswing for you and yours.

Wow that's great I have a young friend who got a wrong DX because the doctors weren't sensitive about his AS. He actually has BP too. You're really lucky to have found competent people it could make all the difference for your son.

I'll keep you guys posted. So far he seems well. He's had a few ups and downs but nothing extreme, which is the important thing. His thinking is still a little delusional but better than it's been in a long time.
