Is Urinating Outside A Sign Of A Mental Health Problem?
My 18 year old son has been urinating in empty water bottles and cups instead of going to the bathroom. To make matter worse instead of disposing of the urine he keeps it in his room. Yesterday I found 4 containers filled with urine. I addressed, but when I came home today I found 2 more! Is this laziness as he claims or something more?
