Hi doctor, My son is 20 years old. He is tired, fatigued and unmotivated for two years. Since from the childhood he has been troublesome and different from his siblings, but he was friendly and loving at that time. He had the habit of bedwetting till the age of 7 to 8. It seems that he has ADHD as I go through the symptoms on the internet. But, a psychiatrist said that he has OCD. My son has been disinterested, sleepy, unmotivated, tired, moody, frequently emotional and angry. He quit the college and lost two jobs due to inefficiency. He loses interest very quickly and generally lacks enthusiasm. He would like to sleep and watch movies all day. He goes out to play some days and does not seem to have any close friends. We have been trying to get him to see a doctor for over a year. Finally, he came to us and said that he knew he has ADHD. He read some stuff online. I took him to a psychiatrist the same day and doctor saw him for privately for 10 minutes and said it as OCD. He prescribed Solotik 50 mg and Xanax. Also doctor prescribed vitamin D tablets. He is not a dwarf, but of shorter stature compared to me and his brother. Also for this, he had thyroid test when he was very young, but when he agitated about this we left him. Should he continue the same medicine? Please suggest me.
Hello. Please describe his symptoms in more detail to help in making diagnosis of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). In general, patients with ADD have high energy and they tend to be impulsive. For further informatoin consult a psychiatrist online -->
