[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658251, member: 1550"] Maybe he can't, but he's the one who has to make his appointments, take the medication and go to therapy too. I've had a mood disorder since very young. It's a bad one. I have been hospitalized. I take care of my own illness. Nobody can do it for me. Nobody can do it for your son. If he refuses, then it is on his shoulders. You can't take care of his illness like when he was eight. He is legally an adult and you can't make him do anything. I do not think that medications without therapy will be very effective. For me, Paroxatine was a miracle drug, but not everyone likes it. It is very individual. He needs to see a psychiatrist and to go through the guinea pig testing, like all of us, and hope something works. He needs to give each medication 4-6 weeks before giving up. There is a new blood test that helps doctors learn which medication may be best for your son so he can utilize this new knowledge. But he is the one who needs to be in control of his illness. You can not force him to take care of himself. [/QUOTE]
