Thank you to all that responded.
My son is now back from Residential Treatment Center (RTC). So far, he is doing pretty well. Testing me a little to see what he can get away with. One of the things I wanted to mention is the drugs they have him on. He is on Seroquel 300mg, Straterra 60 mg, and Celexa 20mg. I was concerned about the dosing of the Seroquel and had him taken off of it and put on Trazadone 50 mg. He went crazy when they took him off the Seroquel - couldn't be around people, everything irritated him. Most any type of stiumulation was too much for him. So he went back on Seroquel 300mg. He is doing better now - more stable. He no longer is depressed or suicidal since being on Celexa. I am not sure if the Straterra is working or not. He just started school again.
We will be following with a child psychiatrist and counselor for him and our family. They diagnosed him with OD, ADHD inattentive type, severe depression with suicidal ideation. I can also follow up with his pediatrician and see about him referring to a neuropsychologist doctor.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback from the group. I appreciate it.
