Need Psychological Advice For My 19-year-old Son

I have a psychological concern I have a son he s the eldest in the family he s 19 years old now he entered the university I have a daughter she s 16 years I have many concerns about my son. As you know in the Arab countries they like to spoil boys. We got everything he needs since he was a child. He was fine till he entered grade 9. He was in love with his classmate but unfortunately this girl blocked him away. And his problem started to appear on him. He stopped talking with his friend and specially his close friends, rarely talking with us just if he wants food or to buy something. We exposed him to a psychlogist. The result after wasn t fine he stayed the same. His results at school were good. Now he s not talking with us he likes to sit alone he doesn t have friends he just spend hours on his laptop and watching movies and playing on his playstation. When I ask him to talk about everything he starts saying bad words and closing his ears and saying go away I don t want to talk. As I heard from his relatives that he is very disappointed from his family and he wants to continue his study out of the country. Please I need your opinion

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It is common to have such issues of study and love at this age. I would recommend to have a dedicated psychological counselling by a clinical psychologist who can sit with the patient on multiple sessions and counsel him towards his study and future. He will be alright within few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Loveleen Sharma, General & Family Physician
