Send him to a Word of Life Christian Youth Camp in Florida for one week. He will renew his aspirations during that powerful time. He will be given an opportunity to leave behind whatever is opressing him.

How old is your son? Is he a adult or teenager? If he is a teenager you can find some help with your family doctor. Your family doctor can run some tests on him and recommend him to see someone more helpful. But if your son is a adult, only he must choose to see someone.
First of all, does he admit that there is something wrong with him?That is half the battle if he does. I recommend that he still goes to his family physician and gets a good physical examination. His doctor may recommend him to see a psychologist or a counselor or a psychiatrist to receive not only therapy but medications too.
If your son doesn't believe he has a problem and refuses to seek help about it, then there is nothing you can do. It is his choice to make. I know first hand how hard it is to see a loved one in trouble and refuse to believe they even have a problem and won't seek help for it.
The best you can do is to be his sounding board. People with problems really need to have attentive people to listen to them. Every now and again, you can mention counseling to him, but don't force this opinion down his throat.
Good luck to you and your son! I wish him well and I hope I was some what helpful!

Hi, Oh I feel for you.
My daughter was the same, it causes so much heartache and pain. She wouldn't even go out of the house for a few years. She screamed and was angry all the time. Go to your local doctor first, there are a lot of medications out there these days and they are so much better than they used to be. There are so many different reasons for stress, many of the younger kids are smoking pot and that is filled with so many dangerous chemicals that make it grow faster and this makes people angry and stressed. That might not be the reason for yours sons stress, there is so much expected of us these days. My daughter ended up going on antidepressants and now is carefree and happy, she has a full time job and a close circle of friends. She always comes up to me now and gives me a hug and says thanks for understanding. He might have to give a couple of antidepressants a try before he finds the right one, and it is usually caused by a chemical imbalance.Once he is feeling better then you might want to try and help him to get to the root of the problem, but that might take some time. Just Love him and be there for him,ask him if he wants you to go to the doctors with him too.All the Best of Luck and good health to you Both.

I know this may sound weird, but i don't believe in psychiatrists/psychologists...a perfect stranger i think would be the best remedy, someone who doesn't have anything invested in what he's going through, if you wish, you can give him my email address, and if he wishes, we can talk or even meet. It's how you feel comfortable and your son...I hope your son gets better...I must say, I don't have any educational experience, however, my life has been quite eventful, I don't mind talking about it for the help of another...Hope everything works out for you and your son...

Have you tried your pastor, a close family relative to your son, a counselor, your local telephone book, or girlsandboystown (they have a 1800 number)? But first, are you really sure that your son is totally stressed out? Sometimes we get in a funk and need time to ourselves to resolve our own problems. But whatever the circumstances, I do sincerely hope your son does get the help he needs.

Try a child psychologist, they are specialized in helping children. Just keep being there for him and let him know that he is loved and you will continue to support him while he is going through counseling. Good luck to you and your son.

Absolutely...make an appointment for him to get a full physical from the family doctor, and be referred from your doctor.
