[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 703751, member: 1550"] Medication alone doesn't work. And psychiatrists everywhere use the swab test. Your doctor is a GP. Psychiatry is not his field. He isn't the best medical helper your son can have. I have had a mood disorder and anxiety all my life so you could say I speak from experience. I'm doing great too. O believe your son needs a better doctor. The doctors he sees aren't helping him. I respectfully disagree with Crayola that just keeping busy or excersing is going to help. From my own experience it there are no easy answers with mental illness and it drove me nuts and made me feel misunderstood when people who meant well told me to switch my diet or just get busy etc. Mental illness is a brain disorder. Very mild mental illness maybe can be helped by jogging and working or school, but more serious mental illness, as when you are so sick you can't function, requires very good medical and psychological help. I was unable to concentrate +depression causes that) o I couldn't even read a book to distract myself. I don't think he is in good shape for school. j m o. Of course a job will distract him, but if he is clinically depressed he will still be depressed at and after work. Having said that I do think he still needs to work. He as to sustain himself, depressed or not. I did it even when I had to take breaks to cry in the bathroom. I also tried very hard to get help, even admitting myself to a wonderful university hospital psyche ward for ten weeks, back when they let you stay until you were better. Medication is a big part of my recovery. I needed it or Id fall back down again. Therapy was also a huge help. I also went to self help group and read a lot. It was not easy but I did it. Your on can too. I highly recommend taking a young man to a male psychologist, not a female. I won't go to a male. The sexes are different. You know best how sick your son is and what works. I wish you all the luck in my heart :) [/QUOTE]
