my son recently put on lamictal, we're waiting for it to work, he takes care of himself, but he doesn't have a job right now as in the past he attended college but never finished and owes money for loans too. he does stay in his room alot and practices guitar and is very good at it. he doesn't and isn't interested in anything else although. i feel for you, watching kids go through depression is awful. i wish you luck and will pray.
