Depression With Varied Mood Swings. Hypersensitivity To Smell And Sound. How Do I Solve This?
My son has never been in trouble he turned 18 last Christmas and decided to try weed. He now smokes and recently got in trouble. Problem is he was depressed prior to all this. Had ups and downs in his mood. During argument about using my car he said some very dark things against my husband and I he repeatedly kept saying he will kill himself. Things he said were very graphic. He is refusing help from a doctor, I feel lost like there's nothing we can do. What are my options? He is destroying himself and we can't do a thing. He has bouts of anger. He in hypersensitive to smell and sound.
I am sorry for all the trouble you are suffering. Your story is heartbreaking. The first priority is to determine if he poses a physical threat to himself or others. Physical safety is at risk. It is imperative that you discuss this with a mental health professional, even without your son. An experienced clinician will recognize these symptoms and know exactly what to do. i wouldn't waste any time as I am concerned for all of you. Good luck.
