My son has the same dx. I dont know how to help him. His Psychiatrist is useless. I've called and asked for help but he hasn't returned my call. Now my son is in fear of someone hurting me and is suggesting that we move. He says I am in denial. He says gangs want him to join the group and that they are just trying to make names for themselves. It's just too much to explain. He is such a kind soul. I just don't know how to help him. Everyone is suspicious too him. He thinks people are talking about him and sometimes he says he wants to say some thing to them.. I explain the consequences. But I am failing as a mom. I don't know what to do. He doesn't want to be in a group because " he doesn't want to hear all their problems".

Welcome to Connect, as you can tell by comments, you are not alone in trying to help a child with mental health problems.

Your son's psychiatrist may not call back because of HIPPA laws. He cannot discuss your son condition with you without his permission which requires a signed form. How does your son feel about you discussing his situation with the psychiatrist?

Base on your comments, sounds like your son lives at home, but not sure of his age. Is he still in school?
