When to Worry
My 12 year old son was huffing glue. I am not sure what to do. He says he has done it a few times with his friends. I am not sure if he is minimizing his use. He says he didn’t know how dangerous it was but now that we have given him a lot of information to read he says he is never going to do it again. He is a kid that has never been in serious trouble before. We don’t want to over react and we don’t want to under react. What is the next logical step for us in this situation? Do we need to get some sort of professional involved?

Hello, My daughter is a 16 year old who has been struggling with depression and mood disorder issues; she is currently on Wellbutrin and Lamictal, in counseling as well, and yet, meds are seeming less effective, even though dosage raised. Thoughts about the GeneSight testing? Other thoughts? Thanks, Lisa

My oldest son Rob died 6 months after after overdosing on heroin. He was 20. Now my 15 year old son is coming home stoned. I don't know what he is taking but I recognize the glassy eyes and red eyes of his brother. I didn't do enough before and I CAN'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN. I need to send my son to a long enough program that he has a chance to get his head back on straight again. It is gong to be against his will. I am looking at military schools but I am not sure if they are going to be able to help him deal with what he needs to deal with and I think that he needs to get his head together and he can't do that in the home where there is such tragedy. What do you recommend for a longer program for a boy in his situation?
