Hello onemill555,   I suggest you read the Xavier Amador book, I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help and try to build a relationship of trust with your son so you can suggest to him that staying in treatment would enable him to achieve his goals.   Your goal of his going to school for a two-year degree is all well and good if that is what he wants and it would enable him to find the kind of job he wants.  Otherwise, any goal has to be one that he sets and works on.   I live in New York City.  Even here, I've had a pdoc who treated me poorly.  Though now I have a great psychiatrist, I'm unable to recommend him because he told me he doesn't want me to use his name via the Connection.  So wherever you live, you could find a good doctor.  Start by researching local hospitals where you could get a referral.   As you know well, when someone lacks insight that he has an illness, homelessness ensues too often.  Again, I suggest reading the Xavier Amador book.   Regards, cb
