[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 684934, member: 15832"] Reminds me of my son, who had a lot of somatic complaints (at one time he was actually a lot going to physical therapy ordered by the orthopod he went to for his back pain from standing around at his security guard job). Fatigue, body aches, stomach issues. These were depression symptoms. People with depression can present with a lot of somatic symptoms. I think, if he would agree to it, your son would benefit greatly from neuropsychological testing. This would pick up any psychiatric issues and also cognitive issues that are impeding his functioning and give you a clearer picture of exactly what's going on with him. He kind of reminds me of our kid....the bodily complaints, the reluctance to look for a job, the calling off once he gets a job, the stealing (low level, in his case, a few bucks out of my purse, not enough for us to notice) . Although mine turned out to be an addict, but this didn't manifest itself until age 21. Some of the way he acts is like he almost can't help it. [/QUOTE]
