My son was first hospitalized in February after a suicide attempt. He is currently in the hospital again for the third time. They have tried different medications but we have yet to see an improvement for more then a couple of weeks. He goes to a therapist once a week and sees his psychatrist once a month. We are both frustrated and wondering when will something work. Is this normal for them still not to have figured out how to treat him or not to see any improvment? What else should we br trying. Any help and support is appreciated.View Thread
He likes his therapist, but he is frustrated that he is not feeling better. He came home from the hospital and we are hoping the new medications are the right ones. He is on the same antidepressant but a different mood stabilizer. It is hard knowing what is the right then for your child and you have to depend on doctors. Also he just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago so now I feel like I'm going to be pushed out of decisions. It is good that there is a place I can post questions and just get support. Thank you for your response.View Thread
