[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 707978, member: 11832"] Welcome, Mpack. I think at age 16, he needs to want to go for treatment. I am dealing with similar things with my 18 year old son, but at least he is cooperative about wanting treatment. I urge you to have some conversations with your son about previous suicide attempts. My son finally admitted to me within the last month about 2 prior attempts which occurred years ago. I knew my son was not particularly happy, but I had no idea how deep his depression had gotten. He is now on medication and improving in spite of using marijuana and alcohol. I sometimes remind him that those two things will make him more depressed. It might be worth asking your son if something happened in the past year that caused him to drop his former group of friends and his lose interest in the things he used to love. How are his grades?
