The two got into a couple fights - one in March and another in July. Our son was evaluated in Aug and put on Zoloft for depression and anxiety and be started talk therapy. Anyway, long story - short: aggression continued even after Dad backed off. Finally we called the police and had him taken to the ER where he stayed over night. Next day to the Psych Hospital. That's when we heard that it was psychosis, unspecified and he was put on antipsychotic meds.

I can't believe this is really happening.
Maybe family therapy might help to resolve the conflict between your son and his dad? That sounds like an important issue.
Thanks for this!
