[QUOTE="chatt3, post: 270953, member: 7365"] I'm new here but have so much empathy for you. Please read this as I think I have input that could benefit you and your son. My daughter, 17, is similiar to your son. She was doing drugs, staying out past curfew, getting into fights, being just a bad girl. She was diagnosis'd many years ago with- depression. Over the past 3 years she's been in and out of the psyche ward for attempted suicide and/or suicide ideation. The dr's. set her on a course of treatment that included drugs (of course) and therapy. We found a great therapist but, after 4 hospital stays clearly something wasn't working. In Dec. last year she was arrested for beating up her boyfriend, went to jail and ended up yet again the psyche ward. Upon releasing her they referred me to a homeless shelter because I didn't have the right kind of insurance for long term treatment. On top of that they basically said we can't help you anymore, don't bring her back. I was stunned that these dr's. who were supposed to help her would treat us this way. I finally took matters into my own hands and researched alternative therapies. I looked at everything I could find and finally settled on this great dr. that is a chiropractor but also does the chinese herbal stuff. I took my kiddo in originally for PMS but found that every system in a persons body is all inter-connected together to work together and if even one of them is out of whack, the whole thing can mess up. We've worked with her addrenal system, pituatary glands, endocrine system, nervous system and are finally getting them back to working the way they should. It's a hormonal imbalance!! It wasn't depression, it was hormones the whole time. Girls and boys can have it....too much testorone (sounds like what your boy may have...i.e. aggressive, acting out, etc.), too much estrogen can totally get a kid out of whack. So....she's on a treatment plan that is totally natural. All vitamins, minerals and supplements to put everything back in working order. I am happy to say that after 4 months of treat, I finally have my kid back. I have my girl that is happy now, no more suicide ideation, no more doing drugs and it appears that she's done with it all. Instead of hearing 'when I get off probation, I'm still going to smoke weed', I get 'I really don't think I'm going to even smoke weed anymore. it's just a waste of money and time'. It didn't happen over nite....but every week since she started I noticed some new change in her. It just let her breath easier, she doesn't feel so 'out of touch' now and has no need to turn to self medicating in order to feel better. I hope you'll investigate for your boy. Google things like 'overabundance of testorone in boys' and see if some of that doesn't fit what you've talking about. I hope you keep us informed and I hope this helps. I didn't have the money for long term treatment or boot camp. i personally don't think those would have helped us anyways.
