3. Is there medical hope yet?

Is there hope for these families from the psychiatric community? I speak as someone who has suffered from depression since childhood myself. But we here the stories of the anguish of parents and it seems the medical community is flailing around just wishing these stories would go away. It reminds me of the Psychiatrist who told me I shouldn't be bedridden with depression at 18 since I had a scholarship to college; only about a million times worse. Does the mental health community send these parents home saying this shouldn't be happening or are there treatment plans?
