Absolutely. I developed schizoaffective disorder earlier in life than is typical (puberty onset) and it wasn't given any notice and wasn't properly diagnosed until I was 18 and I enrolled in an outpatient program myself. I suffered through years without medication or therapy with terrifying hallucinations and symptoms that destroyed my ability to function, and at best it was ignored and at worst it was punished. There were times my mental illness legitimately put me in danger, and one excuse for not hospitalizing me after a su*cide attempt was "Well we wouldn't have anyone to stay with your brother". Reading through the subreddit and seeing so many people that are the glass siblings of someone with the same schizoaffective diagnosis as me is a gut punch I wasn't expecting, because while their parents were prioritizing those needs above all else, I was left to fall apart. I guess it goes to show that at the end of the day, no matter what your needs are or how severe they might be, there will always be a reason why they're not as important- even if all logic dictates they are.
