Hi,
I'm a mom who's searching and trying to read everything I can get my hands on to understand my teen age son. Yeah, usually "teen" says it all, but in this case... . He's a bright intelligent young man, but he's depressed and won't take his medication. There's a bit more to his diagnosis, but I'm not ready to say anything since this whole thing is so new to me. My heart aches for him and we're (father and I) are trying just about everything we can. Hopefully this week we'll get him in to see a psychiatrist. I figured the teen years would be tough, but not the roller coaster ride we've been on thus far. I'm scared to death we're too late - he's 17. I'm hoping and praying we're not too late.
Sorry, this got longer than I intended. I posted this in the introductory area of the forums - sorry for the repeat.
Thanks,
Einna
