Have Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia. No Similar Family History

Lost husband 2 yrs ago and have had no me time until recently. My biggest challenge at present is trying to cope and deal with 24yr son who has been diagnosed with major depression and bipolar with schizoprenic. The loss of my husband triggered this gene in him and I did some research reading and figured out my late husband and late father in law had to be undiagnosed bipolar. My family has no such history of this. My son claims the therapist does not help him at all. He did like the new psychiatrist and claims he wants to only speak to smart intelligent people. He has a history of not being med compliant and I am at wits end trying to understand his anxiety . I would rather my arm be cut off than to see him suffer but I do understand that when a child suffers, so does mom.

Hi, Instead of finding the fault with others you better go through the maintenance, He needs reassurance, courage, and try to make him move in the community. If your doctor advises to admit him and to give shocks dont deny for that so that he will be fine .
Give him good food, containing green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and proteine rich foods. Thank you.
