    Not out of line at all. We (my family) know he is depressed and has been for much of his life. They don't believe in mental health, psychiatry/doctors etc etc, they don't have the money for it, I live far away now so I don't know what I can do to help.

However, I can be diagnosed by the...

    Anyone have any suggestions of signs I could be missing or other symptoms I may identify with but I can’t remember at the moment? Thank you all for being so welcoming and responsive.

    Intro

    Trying to figure this out while trying to get a referral for testing from my school disability resource center. I get this is a long process but I am willing to wait as long as it takes. Just really discouraged because I’ve been waiting on a referral and the person I was supposed to see for that...
