On March 31, 2007, Adam, 21,  suffered a pscyhotic break that resulted in an involuntary committment to the local emergency room... and in a massive situational earthquake in the life and dreams of Adam and our family.

Hospitalizations ensued. A SZ diagnosis emerged, then solidified. There followed partial hospitalization, then  outpatient, then individual care. Later came the additional challenge of a dual diagnosis.

We are now amidst an intensive long-term treatment plan. The trend line is inching up, though the amplitude of the oscillations is wide. Journaling has been a critical therapy for this previously frightened, now fortified and faithful, though sometimes still fretful father.

Is this SharePost an appropriate place for a parent to share his experience? Does this community care to read some of what he journals?
