[QUOTE="carolinwaxhaw, post: 539912, member: 14846"] Dear Witsend: Yes, I agree with the others. Please take your son's threats VERY seriously. Statistically boys are more successful than girls. He is a little similar to my daughter who has Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified at present. My daughter is 13 and is in a PRTF after two attempts and some attention seeking behavior. Praise him for seeking support from you and your husband and take him AGAIN for evaluation even if he is not actively feeling suicidal. I am not certain an ER doctor would prescribe medications for him (does he have a psychiatrist???) perhaps his current medications need to be tweaked or changed or something. I will pray for you and your son. Carol mom to difficult child #1 - Daughter #1 age 13 - in PRTF; Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified; Celexa, Lamictal, Seroquel mom to difficult child #2 - Daughter #2 age 9 - at home (both adopted) mom to difficult child#3 - my son, Jeff - 2/15/75-8/12/04 [/QUOTE]
