My son is 25 and completely frozen with anxiety and depression. he was a graduate student but is not attending classes at the present. we have him going to private counseling and will be seeing a psychiatrist this friday. he fears medication as part of his GAD that he suffers from. it seems like he's in a viscious cycle and not able to help himself. How do you get help for someone that cannot help themselves. He was on Zoloft a year ago and we saw positive results but he hated the side effects. He is also going to a neurologist for muscle problems that he's suffered from most of his life (on and off) and he fears that the meds will make it permanently worse. We try to tell him that they are being made worse already by his anxiety. How do we get anything across to him while he's in this state??? :cry:
