[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 551129, member: 3305"] Kim, I don't know what your resources are but am thinking that your son could really use an evaluation for Bipolar disorder and/or depression with a psychiatrist. I take Abilify and it has been a wonder drug for me. For many years I exhibited deep depression, anxiety, and even some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) thrown into the mix. I finally went full-blown manic and began having panic attacks as well. I had a psychotic breakdown over 5 yrs ago and had to be hospitalised. I no longer have severe anxiety, panic attacks, deep depression or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) type issues. I am fairly balanced now. Am wondering if your son has exhibited signs of Bipolar...either manic or depressed. The theft charge against him right now shows impulsive, risk-taking behavior, in my opinion and given what you have shared about the "family tree". Has your son ever exhibited suicidal ideation or behavior? And, At what age do you thinking the drinking and drugging began? Am also wondering how he behaved in school throughout his teen years? Sorry so many questions but I think we will be able to guide you in a direction for help with more answers. Has your son suggested or thought that AA might be a place he can get help? Thinking of you as your son has court tomorrow. Keep reaching out...and please take time to nourish yourself. Hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
