Speak with your son and doctor about counceling, it's sometimes hard to speak about things with the people you love. And just be there no matter what. Have you contacted "like minds like mine"? There are people that will work with your son to figure out the best way to deal with his unwellness when it's playing up.

how tommy...how are you going to fix it ..you are not the cause of all this

I have just come to realise that I am the cause of my 3 sons problems.
They watched me from a very young age going through some very hard times.
I have had syncope for over 30 odd years.
They watched me struggling all this time.
And watched has my depression and anxiety grew.
Now each of them have problems of their own.
But I know that it was growing up with me didn't help any of them.
My youngest son is 23 on Saturday.
But he has been suffering from depression for a number of years now.
But they don't tell me much about it in case it upsets me.
They talk to my wife who has been a rock for sometime.
But now it's even wearing her down.
I have realised that there is only one way to go about fixing this.
