I know you can't make anyone do anything but....
My 22 YO son is depressed. He agrees, his friends agree, we (his parents) agree, his psychiatrist and therapist all agree. So I think it is safe to say he is depressed.
He is going to college, working one day a week, and doing DJ work every week or so. Everyone thinks he'd be so much better off on meds. His psychiatrist wants to start him on a dose of Lexapro.
He doesn't want to take anything that isn't natural.
He does irritate me because he won't exercise or do the other "natural" things that can help depression. I think those things would at least improve his outlook.
I have bipolar 2 and my daughter does also. So he is familiar with mental health issues and people being on meds.
It's his life, but he lives with us and it affects us all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
