My son has very bad A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder) and also depression and anxiety. He is 18 and he tried medication a couple of times. He had a bad experience each time and now he refuses to try meds again. But he is very dysfunctional and really needs something to help. How can I convince him to try more meds?

My son also couldn't tolerate the meds and we found him a behavior therapist and a psychotherapist who were able to help him. ADD COMMENT

Did you try alternative therapies like acupuncture, Bach Flowers and homeopathy? I know some people get helped by that. ADD COMMENT
