[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 753922, member: 15032"] A small update My son saw a new therapist yesterday. She immediately said he looked and sounded depressed. Body language also was that of a depressed person. Well there you have it. He called me after the appointment. He said he told her the truth about his past - no point in going to therapy and not being honest. He wants to continue with Zoloft and go to college and work. He feels the military is not a good idea for him right now feeling this way. He promises to cut back on and maybe drinking out completely. Hopes the medications will make him feel better. He has not smoked MJ in several months. Husband is old school. Does not believe in medications for depression. He is being understanding though. His mother was an extremely depressed, non medicated person. My mother was an alcoholic so who knows what she had going on. I asked son if he thinks this is why he chose drugs in the first place when younger. He said he did not know, he is not a professional (hmm think he got that answer from me). He said that he has a very good life and why should he be depressed? That is the million dollar question. This is now what we wanted. We don't want our son to be clinically depressed. There, I said it. Anyway we are going to support his decision and let him do this and hopefully all will end well. Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving. [/QUOTE]
