[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you are going down a very dangerous path and I fear for your child. You've bought into this ridiculous ideology that drugs are a quick fix and that antidepressants are more harmful than helpful. It is this kind of dangerous thinking that has led to a dramatic increase in teen suicides since the black box warning went on anti-depressants. Depression kills.And you have been deluded by the fact that you have medical training in one area into thinking you know about this other area.

Going to the gym does not cure suicidal ideations. Having friends over does not cure suicidal ideations. Your DC is misinformed about medications and you are reenforcing his misinformation. Your DS is actively suicidal and you have not educated yourself in terms of what that means with respect to brain chemistry or the dynamics that lead such kids to take their own lives. You are going by your gut and your gut is wrong. Your DS' life is in danger and you need every tool in the arsenal.

Far FAR more teens die by suicide who are not on medication than who are and that problem is getting worse because of uninformed parents like you.[/quote]

Agree 100%.

OP, your actions toward your son are dangerous.  Do yourself a favor and contact other parents who have had a child commit suicide, they will tell you that the biggest indicator of code red alarms for  is saying you plan to commit suicide.  I fear for his safety.  Perhaps you don't know that the very people responding to you are professionals in this area, this is not an opinion, this is real.  You are foolish to think that his socializing with other kids, or going to a gym, is any indication that he isn't suicidal or that you or your husband can keep him safe. [/quote]
