Hello to Everyone,
Thanks for the comments. I will defintely take them into account when I create the webinars. All of the above questions and comments will be addressed! Julie
My sister is bi-polar living a lone but near me. My 18 year old son can be quite emotional and I worry that mental illness runs in our family. I have suffered with clinical depression and there is a history of mental illness in several family members on my side of the family. Sometimes I worry about my son and I wonder if he has inherited any of these tendencies, especially bi-polar. How can I tell the difference between "normal" teen age angst and hormonal fluctuations and a mental illness that needs professional attention before it gets too bad? I'm reluctant to expose him to the dangers (and stigma) that psychiatric medications present for young men unless there is a clear benefit to taking the risk. My sister is doing well now, but it took years to find something that worked for her. I don't want to see him suffer the way she did for so long.
My son lives with his wife but is isolating himself from his family. I don't know how much to get involved.
I'm interested to see the 50-50 adult children both at home and not. For the past 6 years my daughter was not at home and now just moved back and will be independent again in the future. So both apply. Perhaps you could cover both or do two different webinars
