He gets worse every week
I stumbled across this forum while searching up things to do with my son. My son is 13 and recently developed mental health problems. He recently developed OCD and won’t touch anything outside his room and if he does he will wash his hands. Then the depression and anxiety started to become obvious. He started medication about 6 weeks ago but this hasn’t helped at all and seems to make his paranoid and delusional. He self harms and tried to suicide by drinking some cleaning products. He doesn’t leave the house unless it’s to attend counselling or doctors appointments, he doesn’t hardly leave his room anymore. He is such a sweet kid and thinks so badly of himself.
Sometimes it’s all just so hard to deal with.
