Many mental health conditions present in late teen years through the 20s as different pressures kick in and in some cases major life transitions just naturally occur with their added pressures such as applying to college, going to college, find a job, moving out of family unit etc. etc.  You are correct in the advice to get a full diagnosis by a PhD level psychologist and then work this person or another psychologist if a specialty might be appropriate as one who works with teen boys whatever.  Also, get the full evaluation from a psychiatrist on the medication end.  Then the key is that the psychologist and psychiatrist stay in regular touch with review of your DS's progress so adjustments in meds can be made or a different approach taken depending on progress.  Occasionally you may find a psychiatrist who also does therapy, but not usually.

Family counseling to know how to handle things and also to give siblings an outlet if DS is really monopo lizing the household is also key to validate their thoughts.   Try to make time for all the kids as you can.  Best approach is a combined approach.[/quote]
