How To Distinguish Between Schizophrenia And Bipolar Disorder?
Does it cost money Like lawyer .com. . I'm wondering if my son is schizophrenic or bi polar or what. He has mild Tourette's and all the signs of schitzophrenia and maybe bipolar and since he smoked pot. The psychiatrists don't want to see him .so I don't know what to do
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much in this regard. You should take your son to a psychiatrist if you are sure about the symptoms. Distinguishing between Schizophrenia and Bi-polar disorder is a typical task and a trained psychiatrist or clinical psychologist can do it. There are so many symptoms which are common but uncommon. You can search internet to find the symptoms and you can do some diagnosis. In any case, you need expert assessment and advice.
You might need psychological counseling and or psychotherapy. Please visit http://psychocure.webs.com for behavior modification, mental health assistance, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and other psychotherapies, etc.
