Hi My Son Is 21. He Was Going To An

Hi my son is 21. He was going to an out of state college, he is taking a couple of months off to get his life under control. He has seen several drs at his college, they thought his was anxious, depressed one time, ocd, or adhd. So each time he gets on a medicine, he does not like the way it makes him feel and then he goes off of it by himself. Sometimes I think the side effects of all these meds he was on. So he has been on 7 different medicines. He said once when he was like 8, he read a book about aliens and he kept thinking about them. Then he said when he was older he thought about getting rabbies from a squirrel. But he says that these thoughts consume a lot of his time and effort. So they have him now on fluoextine for this. He always says he is bored and that he does not have any friends. When he was younger he had friends. I have been trying to have him see a psychologist around here, but they did not have any time available. Then I tried to make an appt. with the neurologist and found out after a week of trying to get an appt. they do not accept our insurance for new patients. He seems to sleep during the day, awake at night, Would like to do so many things but feels he cant do it, like read a book, he feels he cant concentrate-so thats why they thought he has adhd. He says that he is bored, then I question him what would he like to do to have fun, he said hang out with friends. He says his friends do not return his call. So I am thinking that his bordum is caused by loneliness? I dont know what to do for him, the drs I feel only give him medicine and are not getting to the root of this problem. when he was younger he was so funny,carefree, sociable.
