OP - By therapist do you mean your son has had a complete mental health evaluation by a psychiatrist who has a specialty in adolescents/teens?  And at the same time does therapy?  Because if not, I would start with that route.  Also, it sounds like you and DH (if married) might benefit from some professional assistance in coping mechanisms with your son - not sure if this would be a for parenting strategies or more therapeutic approach.  There needs to be inquiry as to why he is holding his behavior together at school, but not within the family setting.   Have you talked with school staff to see what DS is like at school and perhaps if there has been anything which has happened to him that he is not sharing at home, but taking out at home?  Have you clearly shared in a session without DS what is going on at home with DS with his therapist?   From your post it sounds as if DS will benefit from both medication and a therapist.  And it is true that at times the medication has to be started first to enable one to become compliant and willing to do therapy.
