Question
Dear Joyce,
I have a son 21 who I have seeked professional help when he was younger but have been unable to find someone to pinpoint his if any disorder. I have a cousin who has been diagnosed with Bipolar and my son's uncle has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was hoping you could direct me to someone in the Balto, MD area of which I could at least get him some testing and determine if this may be a reason for his behavior.
I await your reply.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Albrecht
