Hi. Well, I did read your post Jannaku.

I must say, I'm suspicious of your Therapist and Psychiatrist. It sounds like the first thing they tried is antidepressants. Below is some interesting links for purely medical causes of depression.

The other thing I'm noticing is no mention of your son's friends. How's he doing in that department?

This might help for possible purely medical issues:



About 13:44 in, he talks about depression specifically and points out the any of the following can cause it:

1. Gluten -> Autoimmune disease thyroid
2. Acid reflux -> acid blockers -> vitamin B12 deficiency
3. Vitamin D deficiency
4. Took antibiotics -> Altered gut flora -> Changes the way peptides and neurotransmitters are produced
5. Love Sushi -> Mercury poisoning
6. Hate fish -> Omega 3 deficiency
7. Love sugar -> Prediabetes

Every one of these things causes depression, the treatments for each are different and none of them will be helped by antidepressants.
