My 27 year old son, therapy- resistant depression, Ocd and Adhd, spends so much time in bed.His brain shuts off and it's painful and draining for him to answer a question or even listen to 5- 10 seconds of what someone has to say. After an hour or two into our visit, his brain "opens" up and we can converse . But anything too serious or too real, briefly turns the mood.
He asks us to travel 4 hours to help unclutter his apartment that is filled with boxes, uneaten food, clothing everywhere, etc. He's always been lazy and sloppy, but now he can't even do small things like take out trash without draining himself.
His job is in jeopardy. He does get out to the local gym 3 days/week and sees friends every other weekend. Does this behavior sound familiar?
Can anyone put me in touch with a depression- centric therapist in the Arli gton, VA area. His Ocd therapist helps, but not nearly enough ππ
