My BF's son has had emotional and behavioral problems his whole life, he is now 13. He also reads and writes at about a 2nd grade level, but BF now insists he does not have a learning disability, he is just VERY lazy.He has recently begun seeing a psychiatrist. The problem is, as he done with about 8 other therapists, is that he sits there and refuses to talk. He answers"I don't know" to everything, or just looks out the window.They have tried a few different antidepressants, so far he hasnt really responded to any of them very much, but then he lies about having taken his medicine. Yes I realize his mother should make sure he takes it but she is at the end of her rope with him.He also gorges himself with food, and is double his ideal weight.He locks himself in his bedroom and eats 5000 calories at once!! I am scared to have him come to our house, he also has a history of physical aggression.If I ask BF whats going on, I am looking for trouble, if I dont ask I'm not showing interest.
