My 17 year old son who suffers from severe panic, anxiety, depression & the effects of drug abuse is going to see a Psychiatrist on Monday. Supposedly he's an expert in these areas, and with adolescents. I pray that he can get him on some meds and we can get a glimmer of hope.

I'm glad to hear this. While I know this is hard on you, it's even harder for him. I hope you can remain strong. We feel so weak when we have this affliction, and it pains us to see our loved ones suffer. I wish you strength.

His drug use is making this all worse to. He's withdrawing right now off pain medications which is only making things worse.
