wont take meds
I took SS 15 to the Dr yesterday for his pills and we put him on a low dose anti depressant. At the apt SS was ignoring the Dr and looking at his self in the mirror at his hair. He was not even listening to the Dr. He is so mental. The Dr explained to him that the SSRI will not be like Adderall and that he has to take it every day and in about 2 weeks it will start working. Ok I even interrupted the Dr to make sure SS understood that and there was no issue. We get out to the car and he is like I will take the pill when we get home. Ok we go to Walmart and run a few errands and he’s fine. On the drive home he starts flipping out on me about how he can’t understand why he can’t just have the phone from the neighbors. I explained to him multiple times in multiple ways that it is not ok to use people for a cell phone and he just does not get it. When we get home he is a total 180 as in good mood to crying and throwing an absolute fit. He is not taking his pill because he is normal and there is nothing wrong with him. He does not understand why we yell at him and he is never ever ever wrong or any problem arising because of his actions is never his fault. It is always everyone else. I mean what kind of sociopath is he? His moods are an absolute roller coaster, he does not help with anything, and won’t listen or do anything we say. It’s like living with a terrorist. He won’t brush his teeth or wash his hands ever! He lives in the bathroom looking at his self in the mirror. We are supposed to go to family’s to help move her and he is like I am not helping I am just going to sit upstairs in the bedroom on my phone.

Why are you in charge of this
Why are you in charge of this kid? Where is his father in all of this?
I am in the child mental health field, and it's fairly typical for 15-year-olds to really struggle with the idea of needing and taking psychiatric meds, and they often refuse. He clearly has some mood issues and could benefit (I don't see "sociopath" in there from what you wrote). It might be a process to help him see that he can benefit from the medication and to get him to take it.
Yes, and how is this even legal?
I get that as a teen the parents can't see records and such but you and the doctor just made a huge medical decision for a minor, without either parent present. Do you have custody of this kid?
Why isn’t DH handling this
It's his child. Is he just a bad parent? If he is why is SS with you? Let the neighbor have him handle him.
See, this is why
See this is why I prefer dogs. You just shove the pill in the back of their mouth and rub their throat until they swallow. But people frown on it when your do that to a kid. I hear they have a problem with crates too. Pansies..... *diablo* *ROFL*
