Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In teenage, certain behavior is common.
It is not indicating any major disease.
But he needs psychiatrist consultation.
Counselling sessions are required to identify stressor in his life so that we can work on that stressor.
He may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, he will be alright but better to consult psychiatrist for these symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
