Son 23 wants to stop meds and therapy

By Ness Friday, June 20, 2008

How do you convince someone to keep takin meds and see therapist? This is so frustrating!!!!! He also  has depression, aniety and long Qt, because of long Qt cannot take lots of meds, cannot take anything for the ADD, is taking mild meds for depression, anxiety. Need to know what to say to him, find it so hard to talk to him, he gets very angry if we talk about it. Therapy Dr feels he might have sleep apena so under great protest he had sleep study done a few nights ago will know in 2 weeks results, just finding it so hard to deal with. He only works 2 days week has bills that need to be paid, so he is living at home. He has a hard time talking about it, especially hard talkin to Drs. Need advice on how to talk to him to keep going to therapy and take meds.  I think he is listening to friends say he doesn"t need meds and therapy.Thanks
