> What is your sons diagnosis, what meds has he tried and failed on, how old is he, and has he been refered to a specialist treatment center (such as the Menninger Clinic, Mayo Clinic etc)My son is 19 and has suffered with obsessional type OCD from a very young age, which led to acute and chronic anxiety and major depression, and there may be even more going on at this point, although he denies any hallucinations. He's had about 4 years of CBT and regular therapy from 8th through early 12th grade but has always refused to take any psychiatric medications and is now burned out on therapy. You do not have to repeat what you said above. We already know what the protocols are for the majority of the medical community.
