Teenage boy in mental hospital?I recently found this resource, (Yahoo answers) while checking my sons Computer history. I found a lot of web research on bi polar disorder, depression, and smoking cessation.
My son is bi-polar according to the information I gave a psychiatrist. Why he could not go himself? He refuses to.
He is a 15 year old, and I break my back for him. He is in an amazing school (private, of which I pay the tuition,) and wants to become a veterinarian.
But I fear he may, at some point, attempt suicide or homocide. He has severe anger problems, and hits his brother for the littlest thing. The doctor said it wasn't just teenage hormones and to hospitalize him in a mental institution. I would put him in ER but I do not know if he is in *immediate* suicide danger.
He says, on a moral, not defensive standpoint, that interfering with a planned suicide is wrong, and that it is one persons choice, and forcing someone to live miserably or force them medication is immoral.
Opinions? Suggestions please

Yes, have him committed to a mental hospital for immediate treatment. If he is not immediately suicidal, he may be soon, and you won't know for sure if he is until he tries it.

as a disturbed child, i wish i had the resources of your son. if i had been treated i wouldn't have done the appaling things i did. i live with there echos every day and now that i'm "sane" the guilt is almost unbearable at times. KEEP HIM IN THERAPY AND CONFINED IF HE IS EXHIBITING VIOLENCE. you will be sparing him years of adult grief, regret, guilt, and torment. i wish you and him the best.

Try being a friend instead of a mom, a kid needs that in his life- especially if hes "living miserably".
Find out whats bothering him and try to find him some positive outlooks he can on life. Try solving why his life is so bad, maybe its school pressure- "best schools" can have too much pressure and kids theyre may be a problem also.
Show him how much you care about him, and how he doesnt need to end his life to make things better and maybe that'll change his mind.
i hope this helps :)

When my son was 8, I hospitalized him. He's never forgiven me, but it was the thing to do and no doubt saved our family.
This child needs to be hospitalized immediately. Do your homework and find a mental facility for teens. This may help: www.nami.org. They can refer you to a dr. or a facility, and give you all the info you can swallow.
This is an emergency. Get this done pronto and help your son find himself before he kills himself.
