I think it's difficult for older generations to handle this new influx of information and diagnoses when they haven't experienced it themselves, or there was no real history of it in their families. There wasn't enough education, let alone knowledge, of these things until recent decades, as far as I can tell. Same can go for certain physical or neurological illnesses or disorders.

I have a friend whose parents are in complete denial over her epilepsy, general anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder, all of which have been diagnosed by professionals. They think she's faking it and try to get her to stop taking her medications because she's a dependent and has no drug coverage of her own. They think it's something she can just "get over," particularly because her mom had epilepsy as a child and eventually stopped having symptoms or episodes, so she's stuck with this idea that it can't be permanent.

I wish there was more I could do to get her out of there.

They're trying to make their daughter stop taking life-saving epilepsy meds? From your wording, I take it the daughter is no longer a child, but if she were...that would totally be child abuse in my opinion. How awful. ): You'd think the mom, with her memories of epilepsy, would be more sympathetic!

She's no longer a child, but remains financially dependent out of necessity. But yeah, as non-judgmental as I try to be, her parents are dicks, and there are endless stories of said dickery. I do my best to be there for her and be as good of a life coach as I can when she needs me; she needs the self-esteem boost. I can relate to a lesser extent, with a critical, old-fashioned dad, but at least he can be reasoned with at times and we get along better now that I can deal with him confidently. We're very similar people, my friend and I, but she's going through a far, far rougher time than I am, so I'm glad I can be one of her bffs at least. She's a wonderful person.
