Mom wants to help

[Pvoitikmark]

My grown son is 28 and says he has HAD, he's extremely smart and very kind. He has diagnosed himself. Refuses to seek help , says it's his biggest fear or anxiety, to go to a Dr. As his Mom, how can I help him. He complains to me on a daily basis. He's always negative about everything and is very obsessed with just about everything from his car to his computer to anything he purchases. Don't know how to help. I've begged him to get professional help but he won't. Please help

I am not sure I know what HAD stands for. I think at his age their isn’t much you can do for him if he refuses to seek medical treatment. If he is still living under your roof you could give him an ultimatum. Get help for yourself or please find your own place. Make it a condition to live in your house. It’s best he hears it from family. The real world can be unforgiving.

Good call, Here_I_ am. Lots of people in my local support group end up giving an ultimatum. It hurts, but all other options have been exhausted.

Join a support group in your area. I suggest NAMI.
