[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 763046, member: 21066"] I hope your son will agree to being mentally evaluated and let both a psychiatrist and psychotherapist treat him. He probably needs medication in addition to counseling. With marijuana use, it’s hard to determine how much of his behavior is related to mental illness, which could delay getting a correct diagnosis. Many psychiatrists won’t officially diagnose a patient who smokes pot heavily. Pot is said to interfere with mental health medications, so if the doctor tells him that, he will most likely continue use of pot and not take whatever medications he is prescribed. Does your son realize he has a mental illness? Many of them refuse to believe that and think the problem isn’t them, but the rest of the world who do Phy cannot understand or relate to them. [/QUOTE]
