[QUOTE="keista, post: 467915, member: 11965"] He [B]won't[/B] see it if this is "normal" for him. I don't know his hx, but I do know that DD1 didn't realize how off she was until she wasn't off. I saw symptoms in her at a very young age. All that negative behavior is him trying to feel something, or trying to find a reason for all those negative emotions that he is feeling. Once he succeeds in "feeling" something, he gets a certain satisfaction from it, and as a result feels a certain joy or happiness. Twisted as it sounds, that's what usually is going on with depressed teens. Have you considered tweaking his medications? If you can't get through to him, a medication adjustment may help, at least to the point that he sees a glimmer of hope in his future and then you can get through to him. [/QUOTE]
