Suggest Treatment For Depression , Anxiety And Bipolar Disorder

I am very worried about my son. he is 31 years old and has tried many medications to help manage depression, anxiety and likely bipolar disorder. Currently he is sleeping almost all day. He is able to be polite in conversation, is not angry or irritable, but expresses feeling literally brain drained and extremely fatigued. He cannot take any stimulation, such as going to the store is difficult for him right now. He was working as a electricial helper and the job was too much for him and he was given notice that he was not fast enough and going to be fired for lack of productivity. He received his abilify injections became tired and then unable to get our of bed to go to work likely due to stress, worry, anxiety and tiredness from the injection. He is also taking tramadol for back pain and depression and klonopin for anxiety. I have no idea how to help him.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand your emotions. That is the problem with depression patients. They lack their stimulation. Every psychiatrist understands that they are left between two choices. To treat the patient's depression or not to. They end up treating patient with anti-depression drugs. The only way is to work with the psychiatrist for all the available options of management. Vocational therapy and upto some extent, CBT may work.
