[quote=Anonymous]We went through this a couple years ago with my stepson. He took a break from college for one semester and the following two semesters only went part time while living at home. He did end up 1 week inpatient psych due to suicidal thoughts and we got his meds worked out.

Your son needs to see a PSYCHIATRIST one who can and will prescribe meds. Also needs therapy - try a male therapist especially if the last therapist he saw was a female. Might make a difference. This is not negotiable.  He needs hand holding so I wouldn’t give him a big project like “find a psychiatrist” I’d either find one myself or say call this number. Here is your member ID # for XYZ insurance.

My stepson is pretty stable now. Living with rooommates. Just graduated college. Has a steady 30 hour a week retail type job that supports his apartment and his car.

He was smoking a TON of pot when things were going downhill, do you think your son might be using some sort of drugs?

Good luck! [/quote]
