[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 710847, member: 1550"] I am sorry about this. I also have a diagnosis of depression, panic disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. I was in a psychiatric hospital for ten week once. I was married and my husband didn't care and my parents never did believe me. I think having to work anyway and going it alone helped me. I agree with your therapist 100%. Since he refuses to take his medication, he is making himself worse and, as a mental health patient myself who is doing well because of compliance and therapy and forcing myself, I don't feel badly about mentally ill people who sabatage their treatment. I had bad anxiety and panic attacks and depression since childhood and I had suicidal thoughts too, but they passed. Now... Court? Drugs? What did he do,? Your empathy is normal and loving but you can't fix him. In the end, it's up to him to get better and it requires being brave and smart and not refusing help in favor of recreational drugs, like pot or worse. He is still young, but he is a legal adult. It is up to him. I was very sick when I was 19 too. I get your love and fear. But you can't do anything. I would tell him getting money is contingent upon his taking his medications in front of you and going to therapy. And pushing himself. If he can go out with his friends, his panic attacks are not so bad he can't work. You have to pay your bills. How will it help him if you give him all your household money? It wont. If he possibly takes drugs, he will use your money for that. I hope you remember to be good to yourself. You are very important too. I send hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
